Chapter 169： The food problem in the Hinterlands

After waking up again, Yubayashi Xueying couldn't fall asleep again anyway, so he didn't sleep at all. Thinking of Alleria would upset him, and he tried to divert his thoughts elsewhere. It's a pity that he can't get rid of Aurelia's shadow no matter what, no matter what he thinks, he can't help but think of Aurelia in the end.

"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and Bihai Qingtian is heartbroken every night. I'm **** Meng Jiangnv and Chang'e now." Yulin Xueying said to himself with a wry smile.

If I had known that Cirvanas had a dark belly, why didn't I be wary of her? I thought to myself, this time it's good, I picked up a beautiful wife, but she is a missing wife who doesn't know what to think, and at the same time brings a lot of trouble.

Looks like everything has to be sped up! This war must go and take a look, otherwise the wife will be abducted by Turalyon.

He stood up, and wandered in the woods thinking.

Quel'Danis doesn't need to talk to you anymore, leave it to the king's council to play with those gangsters! Get the flat land on the seaside plain as soon as possible, and the wild boar breeding farm will be built. But food! This is a big problem!

The current storage quantity is large, and it is no problem to eat it for several years. But these grains have to be resold! The war is fierce now, food and armor are no longer easy to buy, and the price is as high as a rocket.

After the fall of Stormwind City, there will be a large number of refugees running to the north. At that time, all countries will be fully prepared and armed. At that time, regardless of weapons and food, it will increase dozens of times. If you act at the right time, this war fortune is guaranteed. This time will not be too long, at most it will start next year.

But if the food is sold, if I don't produce food here, I won't be able to carry it! We must find a way to solve the food problem. With food in hand, don't panic. If you want to grow food, you have to open up wasteland! There are many lands, but not many hands. Send elves to farm? It is estimated that they would rather plant fruit trees than farm. Besides, farming requires a lot of fertilizer. Although there are more than 1,000 wild boars, how many fields do you need to raise so many people? How much fertilizer do you need?

The bread tree is better. When it grows up, its root system is well developed. Even if it does not have a high yield, it can still receive some grain. It's a pity that there is only one tree, which bears fruit only once a year, which is not enough! Reproduction is too slow! Reproduction, expansion and reproduction! What good way did you have in the previous life?

Cutting is a good way, but it’s just such a tree, and it’s so far away, go back and cut it? Then don’t think about the fruit that will bear this year, and those tree people and elves will not allow it to be cut, that’s another matter . Besides, it is still unknown whether this kind of tree cuttings can survive.

Now I don’t know if the bread tree on Sarantis Island has sprouted? Is there any way other than cuttings? Is it grafted? correct! Why can't I think of it, can Tongsu be grafted? It would be great if it can, there are not many other things here, and you should be able to get a lot of Tongsu seeds.

When they are planted and grow to a height of one foot, there will be a lot of new shoots for the 10,000-odd bread tree saplings! One bud can be grafted with one, more than 10,000 bread saplings, how many new teeth will grow in a year! Moreover, after the grafting is completed, many new shoots will grow on those grafted branches within a year!

In three years, three years at most, won't I be able to plant the land on the seaside plain? Maybe the strange smell in the fruit of the bread tree will be eliminated, and it will be replaced by tung oil! Squeeze the oil! That's a good thing, the feed has oil and there is also oil! I have to ask Cirvanas to quickly get me dozens of bread tree seedlings for experimentation. There were dozens of seedlings under the tung millet tree last time, and they were grafted on it.

He walked back and forth a few steps excitedly, suddenly stopped and said to himself, "No, I have to go there by myself, in case those seeds don't sprout, why don't I go to the old bread tree to get the branches? Cirvanas doesn't necessarily know where it is."

He secretly calculated the time in his mind. It was still nearly half a month before Quel'Danis was handed over to the council of elves, and a round trip to Quel'Thalas was enough time. It's good to have more time, and see if we can kidnap some tree people, especially the little pagoda tree.

Its healing magic should be of the plant type, maybe it doesn't need to be **** when it is grafted, and it will be cured after it is cured. The little locust tree went up with a spell, and it was naturally connected. Even if Tongsu cannot be grafted, with so many plants in Xingtlan, can't there be any plants that can be grafted?

The food problem is currently a solution, but it will take several years to fully plant bread trees, even if they are grafted! Far water can't quench near thirst! This is just a long-term solution. The land still needs to be reclaimed and planted with some corn and wheat. Anything goes, these crops grow fast, especially corn, which can be planted several times a year, which can solve the food problem in recent years.

It seems that we have to find someone to farm the land. Humans are the ones who are most willing to farm. There is no need to worry about that. There must be many refugees fleeing from the Stormwind Kingdom this year, and they will just take over.

If Fourteen can't be found in Booty Bay, goblins who make steam locomotives, let those humans use human power to reclaim the arable land! Or the local trolls from Hinterland come to farm, would they like it? Well, I have to ask the evil thorn tomorrow. Now I can only go to him, everyone else is busy.

If the local trolls are willing to farm under someone's guidance, then it's a good idea. If it is feasible, even the future food here in Quel'Danis will not need to be provided by the pier, and it is likely to be exported instead. However, the troll's affairs should not be too urgent, and you have to take your time, otherwise you will be backlashed by the troll, and it will not be fun.

The rest is the wild boar breeding farm, which is one of the purposes of coming to the Hinterlands. Only then did he suddenly realize that he hadn't paid attention to the wild boars that had been brought in for a long time. The size of the giant blood-tusk wild boar is too different from that of ordinary wild boars. Can they mate naturally?

He thought about it carefully for a long time, and deduced for a while, and couldn't help but slapped himself severely, and said to himself: "Stupid! I wasted almost a year."

Because he came to the conclusion that natural mating is not possible. In Westfall, there are both giant bloodtusks and common boars, but no hybrid boars. This shows that due to the huge difference in body size, natural mating cannot be completed. Only by artificial insemination can it be achieved.

This is different from ligers or tigons that rarely appear in nature, because one of these two species likes to walk alone in the mountains and forests, and the other likes to live in groups in the plains, and the possibility of intersection is very low. But the giant bloodtusk wild boar and the common wild boar are in the same area, and the probability of intersection is very high, but they have no common offspring!

There are nothing more than two possibilities. One is that they cannot reproduce after mating. The second is that the size difference is too large to complete natural mating to produce offspring. Judging from the frequent appearance of various strange hybrid creatures in Azeroth, the first possibility can basically be ruled out, so only the second possibility remains.

Artificial insemination is actually not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the collection and preservation of sperm. The giant bloodfang wild boars are too big, although they are usually nothing, once they lose their temper, they will kill people. How can **** collection be safe? He thought about it and decided that it would be safer to be a fake sow.

But will the fake sow boar go to mate? What do you say in the animal world? Well, it seems that when the female beast is in heat, it will secrete a special smell to attract males to mate. But it is impossible for people to smell this smell, how to prepare similar potions? There are not so many instruments to analyze here, even if I have one, I don’t know how to use it, what should I do?

"Why think about those unrealistic instruments? Let's think about the animal world! There should be a way to solve it." He said to himself while pacing.

The female animal is in heat, UU Reading Is it the only source of smell? If it is a tiger, how does it spread in a large area? There are very few tigers on earth. No matter how good the nose of a male tiger is, he can only smell it tens of miles downwind. How can he find a female tiger in estrus? There must be more than one source of the smell.

He thought of the way beasts showed their territory, by urinating or defecating. Then there must be that smell in these excrement, he felt that only this kind of explanation was realistic. Because the range of activities of the large beasts on the earth is quite a lot, they are all in the range of hundreds of square kilometers. Only when there is this smell in its territory can it effectively attract the arrival of males of the same kind. And follow the smell to find the female beast.

"It must be so!" he said, striking the palm of his left fist with his right fist.

I decided in my heart that I must go and see the wild boar breeding ground tomorrow. As for the preservation of the body, I really have no choice but to rely on the mages to see if they can help him make a magic refrigerator, otherwise, we can only realize the ready-made and ready-made matching.

With specific things and goals. He finally got Aurelia out of his mind, so he went straight back into the room, got a pen and paper, and drew some of the tools needed for artificial insemination.

He wasn't very familiar with these things, but he had seen other people inseminate sows with frozen milk before. So according to his own understanding, the performance requirements for the tools are also written on it. As for what materials can be made, he will not care.

He tried his best to draw in detail, but his clumsy drawing technique is really not very good. He discarded another one when there was no drawing, and he didn't draw the blueprint to his satisfaction until dawn. Put away the drawings in a hurry, and go to have breakfast after washing.
