To prevent her father from doing the same thing again to save on growth solution, Su Tang also participated in the next experiment.
Su Guodong's experiments: monitoring, recording, and incidentally walking the cat.
The first bottle was used to water half an acre of cornfield.
This time it actually worked! Three days later, the corn in the field stood tall, and the ears of corn looked like a young girl's braids.
The sweet potatoes from the previous two acres ripened overnight.
Su Jianyuan stopped hunting and instead spent his time harvesting grain in the fields with Su Shiwei.
The crops in the field sprouted overnight, and it was not easy for the other beastmen to know about this. So Su Guodong found a secluded place to conduct the experiment in secret.
Harvest them as soon as they're ripe. There's plenty of land anyway, and nobody will notice what any plot looked like before.
All things considered, one bottle of growth solution is effective for approximately one acre of land.
Su Guodong conducted another experiment on one mu of land, which indeed verified his guess.
"I wonder if it will have the same effect on apple trees?" Su Guodong was getting a little cocky.
If apple trees could do that too, we'd make a fortune!
After all, apple trees have a long growth cycle; it takes several years from planting to flowering and bearing fruit!
He watered another acre of apple trees with the growth solution, but this time the apple trees only grew a little and did not bear fruit.
Even to the naked eye, the changes are not very noticeable.
The last bottle of growth solution was used to water only one apple tree.
Su Guodong has completely let himself go.
As a result, the apple tree actually bore fruit!
The tall fruit trees were laden with bright red apples, a beautiful mix of red and green, a truly bountiful sight.
The crops grown in the field are the same size and taste the same as those on the farm, but they don't give you that feeling of being full of energy when you eat them.
While excited, Su Guodong also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both joy and reflection):
"Alas! If such things had existed in the past, the common people wouldn't be starving."
Even setting aside the growth solution, these seeds themselves would be used for research in modern times.
Thinking of this, Su Guodong instantly sobered up.
In the past, we wouldn't have dared to take these things out.
His regret vanished instantly.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Hu Shen led the beastmen to dig a reservoir, and they dug with increasing enthusiasm.
Su Guodong originally only wanted to dig a small reservoir, but as he dug, he discovered that the orcs had such abundant stamina that the reservoir kept getting bigger and bigger, eventually turning into a small reservoir.
We'll come back and check after Su Guodong finishes his experiment.
It is more than ten times larger than the reservoir was expected.
Su Guodong was completely dumbfounded; this was just too damn amazing!
Even machines can't do it as well as they can!
...
Niu Li and the beastmen have been living a very comfortable life lately.
They have divine fruit to eat every day, and they feel like they have inexhaustible energy.
For some rare, divine fruits, the females will even teach them how to eat them, making them taste even better.
For a moment, they felt as if they had arrived in heaven, a fairyland that only the Beast God could reach!
As for their purpose in coming here...
What's the purpose?
What is their purpose? Isn't it simply to obey the king's orders?
However, on this day...
The beautiful female's father suddenly said to them, "You don't need to dig anymore, you've finished your work."
The orcs were all a little confused.
It felt like a beautiful dream had been shattered.
Are they going back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts?
Ugh! I don't want to go back...
Su Guodong dismissed the orcs and gave each of them a basket of fruit, all of which had recently been cultivated using growth fluid.
Each basket weighs about 100 kilograms.
Including the food they receive every day, it's quite a lot.
The beastmen returned to their cave with the fruit, all looking rather dejected.
One of the orcs took a bite of the fruit he had received that day and froze.
"The power of the divine fruit is gone!"
Upon hearing this, the other orcs also took a bite of today's fruit.
"It's really gone. The divine fruit has lost its divine power."
"Could it be because we're leaving that the divine fruit has stopped granting us divine power?"
All the beasts fell silent.
It turns out they all misunderstood the king.
The king sent them here to obtain the divine fruit and to make them stronger.
Niu Li is a neutral party.
He wanted the king to return to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, but he also wanted to stay here a little longer.
The food made by the female mother was just too delicious... cough cough! No, it was to bring back more divine fruits for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, yes, that's it.
Niu Li arrived at the king's cave and decided to ask the king questions.
He was the king's subordinate and obeyed the king's orders.
When the king was not in the cave, Niu Li found him on the hill.
Hu Shen was looking down at the hill. In the courtyard of the wooden house, Su Guodong and Su Shiwei were chatting. In front of them was a wooden table with several thin wooden planks on it.
He has keen hearing and can hear their conversation.
“Father, this is the route map of the irrigation canal I drew. It’s the most time-saving and labor-saving way to irrigate by diverting water from here. Once the canal is dug, we can plant rice.”
Su Shiwei pointed to the drawing made with charcoal on the wooden board and said.
"But building an irrigation canal is not something that can be done overnight; it will probably take much longer than building a reservoir."
Su Guodong now has a basic understanding of labor.
Their family simply couldn't possibly handle that much work.
"Otherwise, how about we do it the same way as before and ask the orcs for help?" Su Shiwei suggested.
Su Guodong hesitated.
Those orcs are Hu Shen's people. If we ask them to do the work, wouldn't that give that kid an opportunity to take advantage of us?
But they really do work incredibly hard...
...
"Your Majesty, the reservoir has been dug. When shall we set off back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
