Chapter 0013 Fighting with the sky and the earth(1/3)
Looking at the rice fields that were ruined by the cattle, Ye Qing felt a sense of anger, but had nowhere to vent.
This thief, God, will you let people live?
Must change!
After a long time, Ye Qing suppressed his anger and observed the paddy field.
All the tribe members began to sort out the farmland.
The paddy fields are all by the river.
The tribe members have not invented irrigation technology yet.
Rice planting requires a lot of water.
The artificial water withdrawal method is too inefficient to meet the growth needs of rice.
If the paddy fields are far away from the shore or the terrain is high, the rice will not survive.
These paddy fields are mudflats by the river. They have been simply transformed and are basically flush with the water surface of the river.
This solves the water use problem.
But this requires strict positioning. It is not enough to be high or low.
Not all tidal flats are suitable for conversion into paddy fields.
Therefore, there are many tidal flats, but not many can be transformed into paddy fields.
Paddy fields of all sizes are distributed in a scattered manner, one in the east and one in the west, and each paddy field is also in shape, without two paddy fields of the same shape and size.
The neat and tidy scenes of later generations are invisible.
After inquiry, Ye Qing learned that the tribe only planted rice for one season.
How wasteful this is.
In his impression, rice is planted in two seasons, and the annual double-scrambled him deeply remembers it.
The ten days of double-tracking were like a nightmare.
After asking about climate issues, Ye Qing thought a lot.
In fact, in this era, the climate is very warm. During the year, the weather is warm for a long time. Although it is the same season, the winter is very short and not cold.
The tribe members have never seen snow before and don’t know what snow is.
Keep cold?
Not needed!
This is completely similar to the tropical equatorial climate in later generations.
In this way, it is completely feasible to grow double-season rice. In places with this climate in later generations, three-season rice can be grown.
If a tribe planted double-season rice, wouldn’t the grain output double?
Why don’t tribes grow double-season rice?
Seed problem?
The seeds are also cultivated, and he thinks they can try it.
Even though the output is not high at the beginning, this is the extra portion, which is at least a tonic.
No fertilizer?
Wood ash and manure are not bad either.
He thought again that if Leize was Taihu Lake, the climate in this location should not be like this!
He recalled that there seemed to be a period of global warming before history.
Because of the warming climate, glaciers melt, causing sea levels to rise.
And it causes sea flooding and great floods.
During the mythical and legendary flood period, the Noah's Ark in the West, Nuwa in the East repaired the sky, and Dayu controlled the flood. This was this period.
Thinking of Dayu controlling the flood, his neck chills!
Is Dayu an era? If it exists at the same time and is slaughtered by Dayu's tribe in the future, it would be a tragic story.
Thinking of the flood, he fought a cold war.
He remembered that in the theory that explained the reasons for the disappearance of the Liangzhu civilization, there was a saying of a great flood.
Will it be flooded here?
When is this now?
How long will it take to disappear Liangzhu?
Floods are a difficult problem for all ages.
Even later generations with advanced science and technology still suffer from floods and have no way to completely eliminate them.
Ye Qing began to imagine what measures to improve.
Flood control must be done with all your efforts.
The paddy fields must be moved to a slightly higher position, and the irrigation system must be excavated.
River channels are cleared and embankments are built?
The project is too big and requires too much manpower, so let it go for the time being.
Tribal housing must be renovated, otherwise, a typhoon and all the simple thatched huts will be destroyed.
After thinking through this, his sense of urgency became stronger and stronger.
Survival is not easy!
We must fight against the sky and the earth!
You must find a way to invent bronze!
With bronze, the fundamental killer to improve productivity, enhance tribal strength, and fight against natural disasters.
Bronze is the general trend!
By mastering the general trend, you will stand at the forefront of the times.
Who said that even a pig can fly when standing in the wind!
Although the small inventions such as straw hats and straw hats are quite effective, they are smaller than bronze, and are completely pediatric.
But, when copper is there, where is tin?
He looked at the continuous back mountain and west mountain and made up his mind silently...
Even if you travel thousands of mountains and valleys, you must find out the tin!
After gathering his mind, he continued to investigate the rice.
The rice has just risen past the flowers and is in the grouting period.
The plants are slightly shorter than the rice seen in later generations, and the stems are thinner, and the others seem to be no different.
After careful observation, new discoveries were made.
Each clump of rice seems to grow from multiple seeds. Unlike later rice, a large clump of dozens of plants usually only have three or four seeds, which are formed by a large number of tillering.
After a brief count, most of the single plants without tillering account for half, 30% of them tillering into two plants, and very few of them tillering than three plants.
In later generations, one plant can grow into dozens of or dozens of rice through tillering.
He counted the number of rice ears and grains, less than 100, which was very small compared to later generations. In later generations, rice ears and grains were 200 to 300.
Looking at the density of the planting and the fullness of the grains, Ye Qing silently calculated that the yield per mu is about 200 kilograms.
I will then visually estimate the total area of paddy fields by the river, which is about 100 acres.
The total tribe population is just over 200.
According to this calculation, the per capita rice capacity is about 100 kilograms per year.
The hulls are used to produce rice, which is only 70 kilograms of rice per person. On average, it is 2 2 meters a day.
Two meals, one meal is 1 2 meters.
How much rice is there in 1 2 meter?
The most suitable rice for human taste has a moisture content of about 62%, which is almost the golden ratio.
According to this ratio, 1 2 meter can make more than 2 2 liang of rice.
Not enough to eat!
The first bowl of dry rice I ate after I was reborn is more than half a pound.
I am just a six-year-old child, and adults eat more.
Think about the time I ate meat last night, 8 people and ten kilograms of meat, and I didn’t even have any soup left.
To be continued...
