Chapter 136 Symbiotic Culture: Fish Farming in Rice Fields
A total of 82 people were accepted this time, many of whom were technical personnel, mainly ship engineers, shipbuilders and apprentices. The leader was their chief engineer.
Because Maritime City has more shipbuilding facilities, and they also have an amphibious landing craft assembly plant.
Powered ships have higher technical content and require real engineers to operate normally, which is different from human-powered and wind-powered ships.
As long as there is a shipyard, there will be a dock, and there will usually be many well-made ships parked here. Not only amphibious landing craft, but also sailboats and the like will mostly be parked here.
Because of the aggregation of urban facilities, such as docks, they are usually shared.
The fastest way to escape from here is to seize the ship.
Because of this, many people escaped from these facilities.
Xiang Yang asked the middle and high-level technicians among these people to go to the precision parts processing factory, the wooden boat craftsmen, and the apprentices to temporarily help on the farm, because the farm is short of people, and they will be arranged when facilities such as shipyards are available in the future.
There are also some agricultural technicians who are of course arranged to go to the farm.
There were a lot of soldiers, twelve of them, including a captain. This kind of escape is often more advantageous for soldiers, because they have nimble hands and feet and are more agile.
But two of them, including the captain, applied for other jobs.
Of course, Xiang Yang agreed to their request without any hesitation and arranged for them to work in the precision parts processing factory because they were good at machines, not just ships, but also vehicles.
At present, the maintenance and repair of some ships and vehicles are also managed here.
After all, the warrior profession is still a bit dangerous, and many people will suffer from psychological disorders.
Once you feel intimidated, you usually have no choice but to take on the responsibility, because not only will you die, but the team may also suffer.
No matter how strong you were, it was useless.
No city lord would force or criticize others in this regard, not to mention that Xiang Yang was also a warrior before. He had seen people with emotional breakdowns. He himself had moments of fear when he was outside the city.
However, the number of warriors in Shenlong City also reached thirty-two.
Xiang Yang reorganized the grouping and added a third group, with Hongxia as the group leader. Most of these newcomers were organized into the third group, and a few were organized into the first and second groups.
Most of the remaining people went to the farm. The farm is relatively large now, but because there are not many people, it is relatively busy. Some non-core personnel in other facilities often go to help.
Returning to the Conch Port Trading Ground, as expected when I first came here, the village-level city where I asked about tractors already had resources.
This time I bought one without saying a word.
Shenlong City did not stay here for long before returning to the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground. The number of new human cities here is still increasing, reaching fifty-seven.
Xiang Yang sold another wave of geographical information, but this time it was not that expensive because they had already obtained a lot of nearby geographical information.
This time I only sell the information about passing through the ruins and entering the canyon to hunt bear-like stone-eating beasts.
Two cities, including Gujiacheng, have entered the village level in the past few days.
After getting geographical information from Xiang Yang, they formed a group to go mining, and it was easier to hunt the herds, because the migration and haunts of the herds were usually regular, which would reduce the time consumption of obtaining meat.
In addition, the upgrade was not far away, so it was logical to enter the second stage.
However, they have never been to that ruins, and it is impossible to hunt energy giants. The journey is long, and in the past, they had to be brave.
So this information is currently relatively easy to sell.
Xiang Yang also bought the two remaining tractors for them, and by the way, he also sold a sail lifeboat to a manor-level maritime city, which is also a new human city.
Because now they have three boats, which is too many. Two big ones came from rescuers, and one small one was bought by myself.
The price is 18 energy blocks. The big ones are probably enough for you if you only have two ships, one big and one small. They are more expensive than the ones in Conch Port because there are fewer of them here.
At this time, it is relatively rare for new human sea cities to come here.
Those at the Conch Port Trading Ground who got the information about Xiang Yang's sale would not be able to come over immediately. Traveling for a long time is usually not that simple.
Their workshop has shipbuilding equipment. The workshop in the maritime city is a manual shipyard, but the manor-level can only make small ships.
They didn't know that if they entered the village level, they would automatically get a more professional formal small shipyard, so Xiang Yang guessed that he bought it to research technology.
As soon as the lifeboat transaction was completed, Xiang Yang received a video communication from Wang Yan.
"Boss, the new Yu Haiyu came here and made suggestions after seeing the farm. Can we also raise fish while growing rice?"
Wang Yan said: "It is symbiotic farming, where rice and fish, or shrimp and crab farming, etc. are carried out at the same time. Because rice is a swamp crop, except for the drying period, there is enough water, and aquatic organisms can also eliminate pests, add fertilizer, etc."
"This is what their previous cities did. It can harvest aquatic products and increase rice production. They have this technology, and I think it should be used."
There are very few pests in urban farms, but if done well, it can increase food production by more than 10% per acre, increase fertilizers, and increase aquatic production, which is very tempting.
Fish ponds are used to raise fish, but at the town level, or even at the county level, the area is only so large, making it difficult to raise fish in large quantities.
Yu Haiyu was one of the people who was rescued last time. He was the farm technical supervisor of their former maritime city. This position did not belong to the engineering technology category, but he was still considered an agricultural expert.
What really counts as engineering technology is the kind of person who can cultivate and improve crops.
After coming to Shenlong City, Xiang Yang also asked him to serve as the farm's technical supervisor, because Shenlong City also lacked people in this field.
Wang Yan is the supervisor of all agricultural aspects, so Yu Haiyu is also under her supervision.
Of course it won't work in practice, but Wang Yan also knows a little bit about the symbiotic cultivation of crab fields and fish fields. She thinks this method is good and can also relieve the pressure of soldiers going out to hunt in the city.
Increasing fish and meat consumption can also increase the diversity of food reserves.
"Before the population increases, you can try it. If the effect is good, it can be maintained in the future." Xiang Yang has only heard of it, but has never seen it.
Because the technical content is also there, especially the management is relatively cumbersome.
Not only is the technical difficulty of symbiotic breeding itself, it will also make travel more difficult, require more time to prepare, etc., and there may also be accidental aquatic and rice harvest failures.
Coupled with the increase in additional water storage, the weight of the city increases, and the consumption when moving will also increase slightly.
Of course, this increase is still negligible compared to the large amount of aquatic products obtained. Moreover, fish farming will also naturally increase the fertilizer content of farmland, which will reduce the consumption of energy and other resources such as fertilizer increase.
The main reason is that travel plan arrangements have become more complicated, and planting itself will also become more complicated.
Therefore, land cities do less of this.
Sky cities basically don't do this. In fact, sky cities don't have fish ponds, and they don't usually raise fish.
But it is said that there are many cities on the sea and the technology is very advanced. Now it seems to be true.
The reason for this situation is that it is relatively rare for cities on land, including cities in the sky, to travel through the wilderness without the support of trading venues for several consecutive months.
Because there are relatively the most cities accessible on the ground, and there are also the most trading venues on land.
Even if the geographical location is not very good, it is possible to establish a temporary trading site that can last for a year or two, or even a few months.
Once at sea, the situation is completely different.
Purely offshore trading venues generally rely on small islands to establish, so the number is bound to be small, and most trading venues are far apart from each other.
Therefore, when you leave the trading field, you usually spend a long time floating in the ocean.
Then, foods that supplement vitamins, such as vegetables and fruits, become as important as fresh water, and the requirement for staple food reserves also increases linearly.
Among the three conventional types, although the energy consumption of maritime cities is the smallest, the danger level ranks second. Attacks from the seabed are sometimes more troublesome than those from the sea and the air.
The most dangerous place is naturally the city in the sky.
This is because it is difficult for an aerial city to defeat a giant beast that is too close, and the target is conspicuous in the air. If the crisis cannot be eliminated from a distance, once it is approached, it will be more miserable.
Cities on land are the least dangerous.
In terms of the difficulty of life and comfort level, cities in the sky are similar to cities on land. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. City in the sky is relatively more stable, with very few bumps.
Maritime cities are ranked last.
The bumps and the like are much smaller than those in land-based cities. The problem lies in the supply of materials.
Traveling through deserts and other places on land is also very depressing for land-based cities, but although there are many such places, not all of them are like this.
It's different at sea. Except for the coastline, it can be regarded as a desert at a glance. This is a desert of the sea made of water.
It is common for a trip to take several months, half a year, or even a whole year.
Once you set out, you will be stuck in the dark for a long time.
Therefore, the number of people who choose sea cities is the smallest. Although more people survive in the end than air cities, there are indeed fewer people who choose to plant sea cities.
This resulted in a small number of maritime cities.
Then another problem arises. There are few trading cities on the island, few new cities, and few cities that farm land in exchange for resources.
Because the largest number of land cities in the wasteland world will not go to the island trading ground.
In fact, aerial cities rarely go to island trading venues isolated in the vast ocean. If the distance is too far in the air at one time, the risk will increase.
Sky cities also prefer to stay in land-based trading venues.
Therefore, island trading venues are usually dominated by maritime cities.
The number of farms is always limited. Growing staple foods or growing fruits and vegetables is an extremely difficult choice for a maritime city.
What's more, there are relatively few metal resources at sea, and they also need a large amount of fish, staple food and other necessities in exchange for metal.
In places like the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, the prices of grains, vegetables and fruits are pretty good, but at the Sea Trading Ground they will go up several times.
Cities on land almost never enter a state of emergency control on staple food, vegetables, and fruits. Most of them only require fresh water.
In maritime cities, staple foods, vegetables, and fruits, like fresh water, often need to be controlled, and meals must be strictly controlled at certain times, especially materials that are difficult to store, such as vegetables and fruits.
One result of this is that the maritime city will maximize the use of agricultural facilities, preferring to sacrifice travel efficiency and prioritize planting and breeding.
Compared with the length of sailing at sea, more preparation time and more complex travel control plans seem to be worthwhile.
There are only 195 people in Shenlong City now, and 150 people are within the population limit. Some minors can work, so the working population is more than 170 people.
The town-level population size is limited to 300 people, and the farmland is 50 acres.
Symbiotic farming requires sacrificing some farmland area as a breeding pond. With such a small population, the amount of farmland can be said to be completely sufficient.
Xiang Yang even planted a lot of fruits, which would be more popular if sold to the maritime city.
So, Xiang Yang decided to give it a try.
"We can be simpler and not raise too many varieties. The important thing is to control the impact on travel plans within the minimum range."
Xiang Yang went directly to the farm and interviewed several technicians.
Yu Haiyu is the farm technical director, but there are three technicians in this field, plus the new farm staff, who are also good at this.
"No problem. We only need to carry out symbiotic farming on the first floor. If the scale of farming is smaller, it will be very simple." Yu Haiyu said: "The main reason is that if the farms on the upper floors are all established, it will be more complicated."
"The first level is the easiest, because fish ponds and other facilities are here. I've seen it. There are several kinds of fish in the fish pond. We can choose carp and crucian carp." Another person said.
"I'll leave this to you, Wang Yan will take charge of all affairs." Xiang Yang said.
The fish pond and duck house are located in an independent space, adjacent to the farm on the first floor, but are not connected and are separated by several doors.
Therefore, in order to raise fish in the rice fields, they need to dig several ditches and several water pits in the rice fields and build artificial narrow fish ponds, which will take up some area of the farmland.
This is the place to go to prevent the seedlings from being eaten by fish in the early stages, as well as to raise fish during periods such as when the rice is drying in the fields and when there is no water in the fields during the harvest season.
In symbiotic farming, fish are only released into the fields during certain periods.
During the rice harvest, fish will also be caught once, and aquatic products harvest will be achieved at the same time. In this way, only small fish will be left, and the ditches and puddles will not be too crowded.
If there are many, you can also put them in fish ponds or feed ducks. Although the facilities are independent spaces, they are on the same floor, so the transfer of fish is relatively simple.
Wait until the next time the rice seedlings are alive and divided, and then release the fish for the next cycle of breeding.
The entire process is strictly controlled and planned.
Anyway, Yu Haiyu and the others are responsible for this. It is fallow right now and the farm has not yet started planting rice. They can build ditches and puddles.
He had traveled continuously before and even went to dangerous places like Death Island, so this time Xiang Yang also planned to rest for a while at the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, and the entire construction should be fine.
Fish fry and the like are provided directly from the fish pond, and Tang Ming can take care of it, which is relatively simple.
The remaining matters that will affect travel will be coordinated by Wang Yan and will be reported if necessary.
