Chapter 188
...
"Alas, we live so close to each other. If we can't communicate more and each of us keeps ourselves in a circle, it won't take long for estrangement and conflicts to arise. Even if peace can be ushered in with the efforts of both of us, it will be extremely short-lived. of peace."
Ganfuer continued to explain in a serious tone, hoping that the chief could understand what he meant.
"Since soil can give birth to plants and Island Cloud can cultivate plants, why not dig some soil back and plant plant seeds in the soil.
When they take root and sprout and grow large enough, transplant them to Island Cloud for cultivation.
The soil can also Isn’t it enough to re-sow seeds and repeat the cycle like this? And you have been talking about the importance of soil for a long time.
I see that you have occupied such a large island for hundreds of years, but you have not developed the land or planted anything?"
After listening for a long time, Geer couldn't help but raise the doubts he had always had. Look at the aunts next door who pack several foam boxes of soil and put them on the balcony. There are endless fruits and vegetables to eat all year round. Not only do you There is an entire island, and plants can be cultivated on the island cloud. The population is so small, it seems like they are starving to death.
Look at me and I look at you. The two of them can count in this sky. Although he was the most powerful person, he was not dissatisfied because Geer, a young man, suddenly interrupted their important discussion. Instead, he frowned at Geer and asked in unison:
"What are seeds? What is planting?"
This time it was Geer's turn to be punished. He frowned and asked:
"So how do you usually cultivate plants that can be eaten?"
Gan Fule was the first to speak:
"Are you talking about a gift from God? These plants will only be born on Siba in the Holy Land. After we find these magical plants given by God, we will transplant them to Island Cloud and wait for them to grow and bear fruit. It has always been like this. Is there something wrong?"
Geer looked at the chief beside him with a surprised look on his face, and found that he also nodded and thought that the other party was right.
"Snapped!"
Ger slapped his forehead. The case was finally solved!
Good guy!
It turns out that this group of people don't know how to grow crops at all. They just found edible plants on the island and transplanted them to the island clouds for cultivation. The Sky Islanders are not plants. The producers are just nature's porters!
Geer just wanted to explode, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no soil and plants in the sky.
It was extremely unlikely that the island would be washed up into the sky by sea currents.
For millions of years, Perhaps this was the time when half of Gaya Island was lifted into the sky 400 years ago, so the Sky Island people did not understand the rationality of farming, so they regarded the soil and the plants growing on the soil as gifts from God.
This seems to explain it.
It is understood why the Sky Islanders have occupied Apayaya for hundreds of years but have not developed it.
They just allowed the plants on the island to grow wildly and prohibited ordinary people from setting foot on it.
This may be to prevent people from"disturbing" the birth of useful things on Spar.
Plants?
No one can set foot in the Holy Land, let alone one or two original botanists who are curious to observe and summarize the growth laws of plants. And the plants transplanted to Island Cloud may not produce seeds for some reason or Seeds cannot take root and germinate directly on the island clouds.
Due to many coincidences, the Sky Islanders have been coming here for hundreds of years, and they are grateful to the gods for occasionally finding a few useful plants on the island. Geer can only sigh. Ignorance makes people happy.
As the indigenous Sandians who originally lived in Qinghai, they probably knew how to farm before.
However, as soon as they came to the sky, a war broke out with the Sky Islanders.
After the defeat, they suffered heavy casualties.
The survivors fled Apayado and wandered around in the sea of clouds.
They often had to face the encirclement and suppression by the rulers of the Sky Islands in the past.
They lived a life of no fixed abode, and it was impossible to continue planting.
They had not done so for four hundred years.
Returning to the earth and making a living by fishing in the sea, their planting techniques should have been lost long ago.
It seems that their prototypes were the Polynesians who cut down the last palm tree in the Easter Island civilization, so this is why. The situation was just in line with the setting.
Geer was too lazy to explain it to them in detail, and directly purchased a dozen of the most basic books on encouraging farmers and helping farmers, and slapped each of them with disgust on the faces of Ganfuer and the chief. said:
"He is quite old, but he doesn’t even know how to farm. Ignorance and stupidity are not terrible. What is terrible is that he still doesn’t want to make progress. He only knows how to fight around with a bunch of subordinates all day long. He is really ashamed to be the leader of the clan. His words are still Do you know him? Go back and read more books first. After finishing these books, let's talk about your future plans for the two tribes."
Several Shandia warriors who were too close heard Captain Geer's harsh words towards the two leaders, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away.
Ganfor picked up one of the books and flipped through a few at random. Page, his eyes were so wide open that he just stood there blankly, unable to walk.
"this! This is?"
He couldn't help but sigh. This book introduced in detail how to farm from various aspects such as timing, location, field system, sowing, tillage, irrigation, manure, etc. These knowledge that he had never been exposed to had an impact on his inherent knowledge. It's so big, it's like a lifelong theist suddenly seeing solid evidence that there is no god in his 70s or 80s.
"What is it, read it carefully, study it hard, don’t just blame it on God’s gift without investigating things you don’t understand all day long. Don’t you also have God’s name on your head? What magic do you know? Tell me what kind of treasure you can conjure up?"
Ganfuer was speechless by Geer. His face turned red and black. In the end, he could only close his mouth and continue reading the book in his hand.
Seeing his appearance, the chief was also very curious and hurriedly picked up a book. After flipping through the book, his reaction was exactly the same as the previous one, except that he was also afraid of being scolded by Geer, so he blocked his mouth with his hands in advance and did not make any sighing sounds....
