Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 284 The wind of plunder finally blew to North America

The United States is also a major agricultural country. China imports a large amount of agricultural products from the United States every year, such as soybeans, corn, sorghum, wheat, cotton and pork. However, many of them are genetically modified, especially soybeans, corn and cotton, so Li Xiang doesn't like these things.

He set his sights on wheat, the staple food in the United States.

In the past, the United States banned genetically modified wheat, a staple food. Although it has been relaxed in recent years, the proportion is very small. Otherwise, how can we say that Americans are bad? They sell genetically modified wheat to other countries and eat non-genetically modified wheat themselves.

Imported food or food additives are basically required to provide "non-GMO certification". Without this certification, they will not be very competitive in the North American market.

As night fell, on the plains at the border of Iowa and Nebraska, Li Xiang's feet glowed with an earthy yellow halo, and the ground veins spread like a spider web to the United Grain Company's grain silos within a radius of 3.2 kilometers. This storage center, covering an area of 20 square kilometers, stores the winter wheat harvested in Kansas last year - % of the high-quality hard red winter wheat in the United States is stored here.

There was a thunder-like vibration from underground, and twelve silos as high as 45 meters cracked at the same time. The earth-based supernatural power accurately peeled off each wheat husk, and the golden wheat waves escaped into the void along the cracks in the soil.

The system screen flickered, and only Li Xiang could see: "520 million tons of hard red winter wheat in Kansas, with a protein content of 13.8%."

Then he flashed to the outskirts of Fargo, North Dakota.

Li Xiang stepped over the frosted frozen ground. The cold wave had turned the spring wheat warehouse in the Red River Valley Plain into a natural cold storage. He pressed one hand on the snow-covered ground, and his earth-related ability penetrated the frozen ground layer at minus 15 degrees. The durum wheat stored here - the core raw material for making macaroni - was transferred as a whole along with the moisture-proof cushion. The system prompt sounded as cold as a machine: "380 million tons of super-hard durum wheat, bulk density 82 pounds per bushel."

Afterwards, Li Xiang came to the Palouse Plateau in Washington State.

After his "Earth Pivot Evolution Record" was upgraded to the third form, the abilities of his various earth-related supernatural powers naturally increased. Among them, the ability to sense earth veins has increased tenfold, from the original radius of about two kilometers to a radius of about twenty kilometers, so the efficiency of "grabbing" wheat has been greatly improved.

The white silos under the moonlight look like the ribs of a giant beast, storing 70% of the white wheat in the United States.

Li Xiang's supernatural power penetrated along the tributaries of the Columbia River and completely cut the storage unit that was preserved with nitrogen.

When the alarm just sounded, 4.8 million tons of soft white wheat worth US$270 million had disappeared deep into the earth, and the remaining wheat aroma alarmed a patrolling drone fifty kilometers away.

Unfortunately, this is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Li Xiang ran at a top speed of Mach 11, and in a flash he arrived at Chickashe, Oklahoma.

The strategic reserve granary disguised as a fertilizer plant was buried 18 meters underground. Li Xiang's supernatural power turned into countless earth spikes that pierced through the concrete explosion-proof layer. The emergency reserves of hard red winter wheat stored there were uprooted, and the airflow caused by it overturned the laser burglar alarm disguised as a grain pile.

"180 million tons of strategic wheat reserves, vacuum-packed and unopened." The system automatically filters out the tracking chips mixed in it.

Even without filtering, those chips entered the extra-dimensional warehouse and lost contact with the Earth.

Overnight, Li Xiang traveled all over the United States. This is the advantage of Mach 11.

When dawn fell on the Mississippi River, 127 key grain storage facilities in the seven major agricultural belts of the United States were empty.

Li Xiang stood on the bank of the Missouri River and counted the spoils of war - a total of 2260 million tons of "new wheat" produced last year were looted, equivalent to 43% of the United States' annual wheat exports.

The surface of the river reflected the snowflake noise from the distant granary monitoring screen; all electronic records had been completely erased by the geomagnetic pulse.

Geomagnetic pulse is a kind of earth-related supernatural power, and is naturally included in the "Earth Pivot Evolution Record".

But this amount of wheat still cannot fill up his huge warehouse, which now has a volume of 13421.8 million cubic meters.

All the materials in the warehouse now, including those looted previously, only account for about 40%, which means that there are more than million cubic meters left.

"Oh, how could I forget that there is a very famous agricultural product in North America."

That is American ginseng. American ginseng is American ginseng, and the American flag refers to the national flag of the United States.

In the first half of the 17th century, Western missionaries discovered that Chinese ginseng was extremely valuable and sold at a very high price in China. So some smart people figured that it must be found not only in China, but also in places with the same latitude, climate and environment as Changbai Mountain. So they locked on the Quebec area of Canada.

As a result, they found similar plants, and later discovered them in the forests of the northeastern United States. After that, they were discovered in the forests along the Atlantic coast of Canada and the United States.

A Chinese worker named Mei named it American ginseng after the American flag. However, Americans and Europeans don't eat American ginseng very much. Many people have never even heard of it and think it is similar to carrots. These American ginsengs are mainly exported to China across the ocean.

At this time in China, traditional Codonopsis pilosula was on the verge of extinction. In order to protect the "dragon's rise" of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi strictly prohibited the felling of any grass or tree in Changbai Mountain. As a result, the supply of ginseng in China was more scarce than ever.

At this time, the Canadians sent American ginseng, which was just what they needed. After much discussion and research, the Imperial Hospital determined the nature, flavor, meridians and efficacy of American ginseng and formally introduced it into Chinese medicine. From then on, American ginseng opened the door to the Chinese market.

Li Xiang came to the black soil at the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the earth-related supernatural powers spread like a spider web.

This is the golden triangle of American ginseng in North America - Wausau (Wisconsin), Waterloo, Ontario, and the southern foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York State. 80% of the world's top American ginseng is produced here.

Ginseng fields in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Under the moonlight, the five-leaf compound leaves stretched out in the night breeze, and the roots of the ginseng that was more than 30 years old were like twisted silver threads. Li Xiang inserted his hands into the soil, and the black soil within a radius of five kilometers rolled like waves, and the five-leaf American ginseng was uprooted.

The system prompt sounded: "30 kilograms of 2200-year-old rare American ginseng was received."

Underground storage centre in Waterloo, Ontario.

In the cold storage at -18℃, the 40-year-old rare American ginseng in vacuum packaging was neatly stacked. Li Xiang stepped on the concrete floor, and his supernatural power penetrated the explosion-proof layer, and the frozen soil condensed into an ice crystal channel. 2.3 kilograms of American ginseng king worth $3000 million slid into the ground vein along the ice path, and the alarm was silent because the circuit was interfered by the earth element.

Southern foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York State.

In the organic ginseng field covered by morning mist, 25-year-old American ginseng is sprouting. Li Xiang's whole body is glowing with earthy yellow light, hundreds of cracks appear on the ground, and thumb-thick American ginseng roots automatically entwine into bundles. When the helicopter patrol team flies over, the system warehouse has stored 25 kilograms of 1800-year-old top-quality American ginseng.

Michigan's Upper Peninsula Wildlife Refuge.

The infrared monitor suddenly flashed with snowflakes, and the earth-related supernatural power turned into countless filaments and drilled into the humus layer. The 60-year-old wild ginseng hidden deep in the oak forest was accurately located, and the ginseng body was actually amber and translucent. Li Xiang lightly picked with his fingertips, and twelve top-quality amber American ginseng kings broke out of the ground, each of which was worth the same weight of gold.

Li Xiang took many detours, sometimes here, sometimes there, but in the end his hard work paid off.

Before dawn, 42 storage bases and ginseng fields in the seven core ginseng producing areas in North America were empty.

系统以只有李响可见的虚拟光幕统计闪烁：“总计收获25-60年上品至极品西洋参9200公斤，25年以下5年以上的优质西洋参16790公斤。”

Morning dew dripped from the remaining ginseng leaves, and ginseng farmers in Wausau did not realize until noon that all the surveillance videos were reduced to a distorted, khaki noise.

Not only American ginseng, but also cranberries from Wisconsin, almonds from California, and wine have all mysteriously disappeared one after another.

On a Texas ranch under the moonlight, a herd of Angus cattle suddenly hung in the air. Li Xiang grabbed with both hands, and a yellow halo enveloped tens of thousands of beef cattle.

Soon after, Wyoming bison herds, Maine lobster ponds, and Alaskan king crab fleets were all looted.

Maine lobsters are Boston lobsters. They were exported through the port of Boston in the past, so they are considered Boston lobsters.

Americans are crazy, completely crazy, but this is not the end, it is just the appetizer.
