Wheat!

Noodles, cakes, steamed buns, fried dough sticks!

Zhou Yi quickly asked, "Can we grow wheat here?"

"Yes."

Tie Ma firmly said, "Wheat has high environmental demands. The local area has a large spread of sandy soil, and poor soil structure can lead to severe reduction in yields, and might even cause disease. However, abundant fertility can compensate for this. Volcanic ash and manure can provide sufficient organic fertilizer, and beans provide nitrogen fertilizer."

"After the sand rats' efforts to improve, the underground water channels have been connected, and the soil of the Oasis Side is gradually recovering. I have already tested various values over there, whether it be pH level, soil layers, or phosphorus and potassium, all have reached the benchmarks for planting wheat."

"I remember you mentioned a while ago that you wanted wheat, but the conditions were not ripe at the time, so I rejected it."

"Now all conditions have been met, and we can grow wheat."

Zhou Yi felt a mix of emotions.

Who would have thought that planting a field of wheat would be harder than taking down a sea lord.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, "Then let's start planting."

"Yes."

Tie Ma continued, "However, the Sand Port Region doesn't have wheat seeds. I am thinking of heading to the Mechanical City, 'Agriculture City,' which specializes in agriculture with Tong Niu. They have cultivated varieties adapted to various environments."

"If we are planting wheat here for the first time, it's better that the seed quality is higher. The seeds from there cost one to two times more than ordinary ones."

Zhou Yi said, "That is not a problem. Is it safe to go there?"

"Very safe. Agriculture City is to the northeast, about 1300 kilometers from Jade City. We can quickly pass through the sea floor and avoid prolonged exposure to Dead Sea radiation, which will allow us to safely arrive there." Tie Ma said.

Zhou Yi allocated a special fund of 200 Light Seeds for wheat.

The Agricultural Machinery Brothers immediately started the engine and headed north.

...

Watching the Agricultural Machinery leave, Zheng Tao said, "Chairman, the Breeding Platform has also achieved some small successes, do you have time to see it now?"

"Let's go."

To save time, Zhou Yi once again summoned Lie Hai and flew directly to Zhanjiang Bay No.1.

The water platform had now become orderly. The front six breeding zones were attached with ropes, inside which shellfish were cultivated, and the back six breeding zones were fishing areas, where Bone Fish could be seen swimming around.

Unlike before, there were no human breeders, all were Black Hand Mushrooms busy at work.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but wonder, "Are humans really not capable?"

Zheng Tao gave a bitter smile, "Previously, the ones here were shellfish breeders from Shell City. They had the skills, but there were big communication problems. They each had their own ideas and procedures, each thinking they were right. In Shell City, the technical processes themselves were not unified, and breeders worked based on experience and word of mouth."

Zhou Yi immediately contacted Duke Baili.

On this issue, Duke Baili also had something to say, "I've reformed several times, but humans always perform well initially but quickly fall back into old habits, continuously arguing and cutting corners in processes. Therefore, I trust the Breeding Platform more than people, hence it is best they don't have skills, so they can be replaced anytime."

He intentionally did not set a unified standard.

Zheng Tao and Sun Chonglai made adjustments for this, completely replacing all with Black Hand Mushrooms. Because Black Hand Mushrooms communicate quickly and have naturally excellent teamwork abilities.

"For this, we also slightly improved the environment."

Zheng Tao pointed to the deck and said, "Chairman, look."

When Zhou Yi boarded, he noticed that soil had been laid on the deck, and the tops of the breeding areas were fenced with wooden planks, with Carpet Fungus growing all around. This was essentially cloning the environment of the Mushroom Forest here.

"This was Sun Chonglai's idea. Through the Carpet Fungus, the Black Hand Mushrooms can constantly hear the situation throughout this breeding platform, allowing them to rapidly respond, and such an environment also makes the Black Hand Mushrooms more comfortable and relaxed, further improving their work efficiency."

"But the biggest achievement is over here."

Zheng Tao walked to the back fishing area, suddenly smiling mysteriously, "Chairman, what do you think, after being bred, in which direction should Bone Fish grow?"

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "With no predators and food crises, plus being fed bones, they should get larger and not very aggressive, right?"

"Exactly."

Zheng Tao walked to one of the breeding zones and knocked on the welltop with a wooden pole nearby, making a clang metal sound.

Then, a Bone Fish suddenly leaped high, landing on the Carpet Fungus on the ground.

Its body trunk was composed of a wide shell made of bones, with clear cut markings on its surface.

The domesticated Bone Fish leaned its head against Zheng Tao's leg, resembling a giant sea turtle.

Zheng Tao petted its head, "Chairman, this is our bred Bone Fish 'Healthy Soldier', now about three months old."

This is called three months?

Zhou Yi's eyelid twitched.

The creature in front was already the size of an adult cow.

"Its temperament is very mild, and Bone Fish are also a type of Guangna Species that can quickly adapt to various environments."

"For example."

Zheng Tao raised the wooden pole, "Stand up."

The Bone Fish propped up its body, using its tail to fix itself on the ground, balancing with its white bone fins in an upright human pose.

Zheng Tao waved the pole, "Lie down."

The Bone Fish immediately lay down, fins spread out.

"Curl up."

The Bone Fish contracted into a sphere, turning into a large bone ball.

"That's it, it's very dependent on us after our feeding, and with a little training, it can perform many actions."

Zhou Yi: "..."

I asked you to breed fish, and you turned them into pets, didn't you?
