Chapter 199 Oil Town "Has the translation of the documents Irina sent previously been completed?"
Chen Lin was standing in the courtyard at this time and casually asked the guard Xiao Wu beside him. Xiao Wu immediately shook his head: "We haven't got any news from there yet."
"If there's no news, it means it's not finished. Let's forget about it for now."
Chen Lin hummed lightly and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to start, "Let's go see the scale of the various cash crops grown first. I also want to see the oil that was previously discovered in the Orc Empire. , I don’t know what the situation is like now.”
Xiao Wu made a gesture to the people behind him, and then asked Chen Lin: "Then should we drive there or go through the teleportation array..."
"Of course it's convenient. The designated area is so large. If you want to see it, the best way is to drive."
Chen Lin laughed out loud, and Xiao Wu immediately started arranging his itinerary. He briefly exchanged greetings with the dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. When he said that he was leaving, the dean was obviously still a little reluctant to leave.
When Chen Lin finally set off, the car was still filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Chen Lin was quite willing to accept all comers. Anyway, these things were too much for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. .
A group of off-road vehicles were driving on a country road. Chen Lin sat near the window and looked at the scenery outside the car window, feeling extremely happy.
In addition to the purple rice he saw yesterday, he soon saw other types of crops in many areas, most of which were cash crops, including green grass, dragon heart fruit, star fruit, Xiaoyao flower, sun melon... …
The growth rate of these cash crops is relatively slow, and in many places they have not even begun to sprout.
However, when Chen Lin passed by an experimental field area of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he saw a large insulation room and a large sunshade. He signaled to stop and went to take a look with interest. After revealing his identity, he was responsible for guarding this area. Only the staff of the regional Academy of Agricultural Sciences introduced what was grown inside.
"What we plant are sweet potatoes we cultivated."
The staff nervously introduced: "The thing is the cave vine discovered in the Forgotten Forest. We have cultivated it carefully, and now we can make it grow roots weighing more than 100 kilograms."
"Is there a finished product?"
Chen Lin smiled and had a gentle attitude. The sudden arrival of their group caught the staff here by surprise. He was about to call his superiors, but was stopped by Chen Lin. Chen Lin meant not to alarm too many people. I just came over to take a look.
"I'll get some of it for you!"
The staff member quickly motioned to the young man stationed with him to bring something, while he calmly made tea for Chen Lin.
"Are the staff in charge here still the staff of our Academy of Agricultural Sciences? Didn't they directly use people from society?"
"This is an experimental field and needs our people to handle it. Many other places are now implementing contract responsibilities. The outposts distribute seeds and provide technical guidance..."
When the staff realized Chen Lin's kind attitude, they breathed a sigh of relief and seemed bolder in speaking.
"We have also planted some mushroom crops that local residents have grown here. Some of them have very good yields and taste. We will see if anyone is willing to cultivate these. If we get it right, it will be easy to make money!"
"There are some more..." Chen Lin smiled as he listened to the staff enthusiastically introducing these to him. It wasn't until another person returned with cut sweet potatoes that Chen Lin turned his attention.
"How does this stuff taste?"
"The batch we cultivated mainly has a high starch content, and the taste is not very good."
The staff was honest and said whatever they needed.
Chen Lin asked if he could use it directly. Both staff members nodded and said no problem, but repeated that the taste was not very good.
When Chen Lin asked Xiao Wu to cut off a small piece for him and he put it into his mouth and chewed it himself, Chen Lin realized that neither staff member had lied to him.
This stuff really doesn't taste good.
To put it simply, such a large sweet potato is completely different from the sweet potatoes on the earth. Not only is the starch content extremely high, it turns into powder when you eat it. The most difficult thing is that it doesn’t taste at all sweet. ! "We only grow this thing to prepare it as a raw material for starch extraction in the future. We have tried it. Whether it is eaten raw, roasted, steamed or boiled, the taste of this thing cannot be said to be very good."
The staff member looked embarrassed and said: "The only use is to extract starch industrially..."
Chen Lin simply rinsed his mouth, and then went to look at the mushroom varieties cultivated here. He was amazed to find that the strains were very magical, and they were obviously different from those on earth.
He stayed here for more than half an hour, and then hurriedly set off from here again, heading towards the northeast corner.
The area of land cut out by the Koman Empire was really not that small. Chen Lin almost kept going all the way. He took the car from about two o'clock in the afternoon to about five o'clock in the afternoon, and finally drove to the area where green grass was planted.
When the familiar green grass appeared in his field of vision, Chen Lin immediately felt relieved.
These green grasses can be regarded as real economic crops. Their specific effects have been mentioned before, so I won’t go into details here. In short, they are purely about making money, and they can be used for both civilian and military purposes! The planting range of this thing is huge. At least thousands or even tens of thousands of acres are planted in the northeast corner. How can it be planted on such a large scale without profit?
Chen Lin did not stop here for any longer. The convoy went directly through the two-meter-high green grass planting area and headed towards the northeast corner. They were about to reach the last destination of the day - Ganger City.
The last time Chen Lin left here was more than 20 days ago.
At that time, outside Gang'er City, oil on the ground exposed due to the movement of tectonic plates was discovered in the Orc Empire. After being discovered by the soldiers at the outpost, a large number of personnel from the outpost were directly summoned. At that time, Gang'er City was said to be rebuilt. .
The convoy soon entered the main road, and the landscape on both sides gradually began to turn into a wilderness. Even the number of trees decreased, and there were many more heavy vehicles on the road.
The convoy rushed towards Ganger City cautiously, even passing three sentry inspections along the way! Finally, at around seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Lin's convoy arrived at Gang'er City.
It's just that at this time, Ganger City was no longer called a city. When Chen Lin's motorcade was waiting in line to enter the city, he opened the car window and took a look at the sign hanging on the city gate from a distance. The huge archway design above It was written in simplified Chinese - "Oil Town"! (End of this chapter)
