Chapter 045. Forests with their own land
"Lottery."
Kant opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes were also a little expectant.
What you can get by the system lottery is much better than the rewards you get from temporary tasks.
The chest opens.
Colorful lights appear.
【Ding... You have received an "Item Pack"]
[You open the item package and find that it is a lush "date palm forest" inside. 】
[Acquisition: "Date Grove" × 2 acres (adult trees)]
In the system dialog box, a card appears.
Above is a bird's-eye view of a grove of trees, lush on the sandy soil, and among the foliage, you can faintly see clusters of dates hanging under the leaves, apparently ripe and ready to be harvested.
Date palms.
The most practical desert tree species, Kant was no stranger to this.
Because when I came to the Narun Desert, there was a temporary quest reward, which was 20 date palms.
But it can't reach the horror level of 2 acres of date palms!
"How can such a reward occur?"
With Kant's calm heart, he felt that he couldn't cry or laugh at this time.
2 acres of date palm trees seem to be simple to plant, but now the sentry oasis is 7.5 acres of sandy land, all of which have been planted with barley, and where can there be spare space to continue planting these date palm trees?
This is simply a reward that is useless for him for the time being.
【Ding... System Prompt]
[The props obtained from the lottery will be fully embodied based on cards.] 】
As if sensing Kant's doubts, a dialog box pops up on the retina.
This made his brow furrow even more.
"Fully embodied?"
Kant pondered this word repeatedly, after all, the hints given by the system are by no means groundless.
The mind moved slightly, and the card that had just been obtained reappeared on the retina.
The 2 acres of date palm trees cannot be fully displayed on this small card, but with a top-down outline, enveloping the entire forest, including the sandy land where the date palm trees are planted.
And seeing this, Kant's heart beat suddenly.
Combined with the special hints given by the system, he had a realization in his mind: "Could it be..."
Without further ado, he walked straight towards the northern part of the Sentry Oasis, where the agricultural area of "Dehrim" had been planted with the previous 20 date palms.
Mainly card-based, fully embodied.
If this sentence is consistent with Kant's speculation, then he will usher in a new spring.
ushered in a beginning that was no less than when he obtained the Consulate and truly established "Deherim"!
"That's it."
Kant walked briskly to the north side of the sentry oasis.
A rudimentary network of canals has been excavated, and springs flow through it, wetting the fields with a hint of sand and bringing precious freshwater to the barren sandy land.
7.5 acres of land, the common canal is divided into 14 plots of cultivated land.
After all, this is a desert area, even if it is an oasis, the soil is mostly sandy.
The purpose of digging so many canals is to ensure irrigation, and as long as the wheat seedlings can emerge, it means that the irrigation canals pre-divided by Kant and the farmers are effective.
But now, Kant looked at the two rows of date palms.
Twenty neatly planted date palms are rooted at the junction of the oasis and desert, with lush foliage and alluring greenery, adding a touch of color to this yellow-orange-orange monotonous environment.
Kant hesitated.
But he still swallowed and foamed at the mouth and took a deep breath: "System, can you plant date palm groves?" ”
"Yes." The system answers.
And Kant's eyes flashed, and his mind directly communicated with the cards in his mind.
A mysterious aura descended in an instant, and an immeasurable data chain appeared in the depths of Kant's eyes, and then spread out, turning into a whirlwind and roaring towards the desert in front of him, enveloping the scale of just 2 acres of land.
Soon, but in seconds.
The data link began to fade, but what appeared before Kant's eyes was a tall and straight wood.
It's a grove of date palms!
"Sure enough."
Kant swallowed and foamed, his hands clenched with excitement.
His gaze moved downwards over the tall trunk of the tree, and he saw that the bottom of the date palm grove was not a layer of yellow-orange-orange soft sand, but a yellow-brown, crumbled sandy earth!
Change the world.
Kant had only one word in his mind to describe his current shock.
It is now that Kant finally realizes the power of the system.
It's really a world changer.
Replace this layer of sand with sandy land that can be planted.
This kind of power is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, even if it is a miracle, it can make sense, and this is precisely a miracle, a sandy land that can only be created by the power of the mysterious gods!
"That's it, my golden finger."
Kant forcibly calmed his inner turmoil and tried to calm himself down.
The game system is his.
This force is also his.
There is no reason for him to be inexplicably excited about this, as long as he is calm, he will get used to it.
Kant looked at the dense date palm trees in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's really magnificent." ”
Lush date palm trees are planted in rows.
It was planned in advance, and the trees were planted long ago when they were young, so they look quite neat now.
On the straight trunk of the tree, under the slender leaves of the palm family, plump dates with purple red are falling in bunches, indicating that they are ripe and ready for picking.
They are all date palms that are ripe and fruitful.
At a glance, the 7-meter-high date palm grove completely covers the desert to the north.
Kant didn't know how many date palms there were on 2 acres of land.
【Ding... System Prompt]
[50 date palm trees are planted on 1 acre of land, and there are currently 100 date palm trees on 2 acres of land. 】
A dialog box also pops up to answer Kant's difficult questions.
"Good, really good."
For such a thoughtful system, Kant also has a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is very bright.
With so many date palms, the current food problem has been completely solved, so that even if his troops eat dates at every meal and drink the spring water of the oasis, they can last for at least half a year.
Careful irrigation and maintenance, after half a year, a new batch of dates can bear fruit again.
And it is now that Kant finally understands why, in the Middle Eastern deserts of the earth, those desert peoples grow very few crops, but rather a lot of date palms.
This kind of date, known as desert bread, is equal to barley, rice and other staple foods in the hearts of desert people!
Right now.
Kant estimated that if he called on everyone to pick dates, he would probably be able to fill the entire storeroom.
Because these 100 date palms are equivalent to the total amount planted in one village, which can feed at least 300 people for several months until the next fruiting time.
Although it is half a year, in fact, as long as these coconut fruits are picked, they will continue to bear fruit quickly.
The concept of half a year represents that the coconut fruit is ripe again and ready to eat!
This kind of tree that grows in a desert climate is not disturbed by the four seasons, bears fruit all year round, and is supplied all year round, which is a great advantage over those fruit trees that live in plains and mountains and are affected by the climate.
That's why it's an alternative crop.
"But there's more to these date groves than just providing food."
Kant's tongue licked his lips slightly.
Kant from the earth in his previous life certainly knew that once there are a large number of trees in an oasis, then it means that the oasis has matured and can form its own ecological chain.
The photosynthesis of trees, as well as the evaporation of water, can lock in the temperature of the oasis.
It's not too hot during the day and not so cold at night.
Trees can continue to be cultivated from tree to tree, and more drought-tolerant crops can be planted, as long as irrigation and fertilization are ensured, and it doesn't matter if you grow some vegetables and shrubs, which is exactly how the desert people invented it.
You can even raise small animals, such as chickens, sheep, or desert horses that are suitable for desert survival.
"The emergence of this date grove really put the village on the right track."
Kant sighed, but his heart was still excited.
The system is really a high-quality product, and there will be no defective products at all!
And considering that he still has 1 point of honor, he can continue to draw lottery, Kant's eyes are shining.
He couldn't wait.
"System, draw again!"
