  Chapter 219 Twenty-five billion acres of plantations

  Watering is even more unnecessary. The nut tree grows directly in the water, so how can it be short of water?

  So, after the expansion of the nut tree plantation, they only need to come to harvest during the annual harvest, and occasionally remove some pests, which is basically the same.

  Compared to nut tree plantations that grow in water, bread trees growing on land are more difficult to manage.

  It needs to be watered and fertilized again, and there are all kinds of troubles such as harvest time, when picking fruits, family members fall down and fall to death or hurt themselves.

  Compared to being in the swamp, even if you fall, you will fall directly into the water. At most, your head will be buzzing, which is much worse.

  And the yield is not very optimistic. In the dark swamp, the nut tree plantation can harvest two seasons a year, each tree is 100 catties, and on an acre of land, ten trees can harvest nearly one ton of grain a year.

  Here, even with fertilization and watering, the annual harvest of a tree is only about 50 catties.

  A total of ten trees on one acre of land can harvest about 500 catties a year, or about 0.25 tons.

  Compared to the nut tree plantation forest in the dark swamp, not only can there be only one harvest a year, but the output has also been reduced by half.

  By contrast, the output plummeted by four times.

  Four acres (one thousand square meters) of bread tree plantation are worth the income of one acre of nut tree plantation in the dark swamp.

   And it's more troublesome than a nut tree plantation.

  Managed a nut tree plantation, and now manages these troublesome bread tree plantations with low yields, it is no wonder that Eliza is a little bit dissatisfied.

   "The land here is very large, with many mountains and trees, and there are no violent storms."

   "Although the grain output is a little less, and it's a little more troublesome than our nut tree plantations, it's just watering and fertilizing."

   "Those stupid dark creatures can still understand such a simple matter."

   "Let them **** and pee under their own bread tree every day, that's about it."

   Ace said casually.

  He has seen those fields planted by humans, planted in spring, harvested in autumn, and has to be watched every day to prevent damage to animals such as mice, birds, insects, etc., which is troublesome to death.

  Now his bread tree plantation only needs watering and fertilizing, which is extremely simple.

   Ask those races casually, pull your own nutrient feces under those trees every day, and the task of fertilizing and watering has basically been completed.

   Compared with those human farmers who are busy on the plains, it is not too easy.

  In his view, although the output has decreased by four times, the western region has a huge area of ​​more than 50 million square kilometers, and more than 90% of the land is composed of mountains.

  There are so many trees. At a glance, even if the output is reduced by four times, the number of creatures of all races that can be fed is still an astronomical number.

  Anyway, it can definitely raise a population many times larger than the current Western Territory.

  Human expansion is mainly based on plains, or cultivated land that can produce food.

  Where they can open up farmland on a large scale is the direction of their expansion.

  As for those alpine forests, only some hunters will go there, and the number of them is sparse.

  According to the mountainous area, the ratio of land to cultivated land is one hundred to one, that is, one million square kilometers, only 10,000 square kilometers of land can be reclaimed as cultivated land.

  One thousand square meters is one acre.

  One million square kilometers can reclaim about 100 million acres of arable land.

  The entire western region is 50 million square kilometers, and the arable land cultivated by the people of the western region should be about 5 billion acres.

  However, because more than half of their areas are wild areas that have just been occupied and have not been fully developed, this number has to be reduced by nearly half.

   After all, if you want to fully develop the newly developed wild areas, you basically have to take a hundred years as the unit.

  The first to be developed must be the areas close to the river that are relatively easy to reclaim.

  The real arable land area in the western region should be around 2.5 billion to 3 billion acres.

  Ace doesn't care about this area at all.

  The advantage of grafting and planting is that wherever there are big trees growing, it can be turned into his plantation.

  The western region is dominated by mountains. Excluding the basin and some areas that are too difficult to climb, the forest area that can expand the bread tree plantation occupies at least 50% of the western region.

  The western border is 50 million square kilometers. As long as it is fully occupied, a bread plantation of about 25 million square kilometers is not a dream at all.

  How many acres is that, based on 10,000 square kilometers and 100 million acres, that is 250 billion acres of bread tree plantations.

  How many people can this feed.

  How can humans compare with him?

   As long as he occupies the western region and works hard to develop it for hundreds of years, even if the gods in the sky descend to the earth, he can tear apart the countless legendary demigods cultivated by the blood sacrifice energy brought by a sufficient population.

   It is important to know that one acre of bread trees can produce 500 catties of grain per year, which is completely enough to feed a population.

   250 billion acres of bread tree plantations, the population that can support that is 250 billion.

  The blood sacrifice energy brought by such a huge population, he can't imagine how many strong people can be cultivated.

  In short, in Ace's view, as long as he can defeat the western border, no one in the whole world can resist his footsteps.

  To be honest, he was also a little puzzled, why didn't anyone think of marrying and farming before him?

  Regardless of his previous life, or this magical world after becoming a dragon, they all have techniques and ideas similar to grafting.

  Such a big benefit.

  Based on the country in his previous life, he has a forest area of ​​about 2 million square kilometers. After using grafting and planting, he can completely transform more than 20 billion acres of land that can produce food.

   Increase the number of people you can support by ten or even twenty times.

  Many countries are similar. The forest area is ten times or even twenty times that of the existing cultivated land. As a result, no one uses it.

   Logically speaking, someone should have used grafting and planting to strengthen their own group early on.

  There are so many smart people of all races, and all kinds of knowledge and inheritance are as brilliant as stars. How could anyone not think of it?

  Although he was puzzled by this point, Ace didn't delve into it.

  Eliza tilted her dragon head, her 19-meter-long body squeezed on the throne, and continued: "Besides this, we are about to bleed a lot."

   "Those guys are getting crazier one by one. As long as they push across the human area, the intelligent creatures with weapons are basically wiped out by them."
