276 Hope for Health and Longevity


After Academician Lin Qu felt the state of his body, he was completely mesmerized by this state of strength.

....

This was a temptation that no one could resist.


Looking at the Great Buckthorn fruits hanging on the branches, Academician Lin Qu’s eyes were filled with desire. “Li Chengqian, can I eat this Great Buckthorn fruit?”


“This feeling of regaining my youth is too wonderful!”


“This is unbelievable!”


Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a serious expression, “Academician Lin Qu, no!”


“The effect of the Great Buckthorn fruit is very obvious, but you can’t eat too much. If you eat too much, instead of feeling nourished, you will have health issues.”


“Given your state of health, you cannot take the Great Buckthorn fruit more than once a day.”


“Moreover, the Great Buckthorn fruit can only temporarily restore your body’s energy. It doesn’t actually make your body younger.”


“There’s no need to eat too much!”


After hearing Li Chengqian’s words, Academician Lin Qu’s eyes were filled with disappointment.


Academician Lin Qu was already 73 years old. At this age, he had unrealistic hope for longevity and health like everyone else, he was no exception.


If there was a chance, he wanted it too.


“Wait, the natural Great Buckthorn fruit has such a magical effect.”


“If I extract the specific ingredients of the Great Buckthorn fruit… the effect will definitely be better than eating it directly.”


“At that time, we might be able to develop a longevity potion that can extend one’s lifespan and maintain one’s body forever.” When Academician Lin Qu thought of this, his eyes were filled with excitement.


“By the way, Li Chengqian, have you done those tests on the Great Buckthorn fruit? Have you analyzed the active ingredients in it?…” Academician Lin Qu’s attention was immediately attracted by the Great Buckthorn fruit.


Seeing Academician Lin Qu’s excited face, Li Chengqian laughed in his heart. He pretended not to know the situation and didn’t answer his question. “Academician Lin Qu, let’s get down to business.”


“This is the…”


“You said that you came here this time to inspect this automated farm.” Li Chengqian finished his sentence.


Academician Lin Qu opened his mouth, but he could only suppress the topic of the Great Buckthorn fruit. He was really here to inspect the operation of the automated farm.


Especially when Li Chengqian’s automated farm was operating in the desert.


If he could replicate the experience of Li Chengqian’s automated farm and promote it in the other desert areas of the Divine Dragon Country, it would be a way to increase the strength of the Country.


The Divine Dragon Country’s desert area occupied 20% of all the land area. Even if only half of it could be farmed, it was a huge matter for the Divine Dragon Country.


This was because Divine Dragon’s current cultivation area was only 12.5% of its land area. Moreover, about 5% was in hilly and mountainous areas, making it difficult to mechanize cultivation.


Only 7.6% of the land was on the plains, which could be mechanized and cultivated on a large scale.


As for the desert area, the terrain was very flat with the wind and sand all year round.


As long as they could resume their cultivation, they could carry out large-scale mechanized cultivation.


If half of it could replicate Li Chengqian’s experience, it could directly double the Divine Dragon’s grain production!


If all of them could be used in farming, it could directly increase the production of the Divine Dragon’s food by more than three times!


With so much food, the population of the Divine Dragon would double again, and there would not be a situation of food shortage.


“This land is completely desertified! Even if we dig five meters underground, it’s all sand.” Li Chengqian first explained the situation of the desert.


“Ordinary plants have no way of surviving in such an environment because it’s too dry.”


“In order to conserve water, we adopted a new irrigation model, the root tank model! With the huge amount of water we have conserved, we provide plants with the requisite water from its roots.”


“This special type of Buckthorn tree is also very awesome. After obtaining a certain amount of water, the speed of growth is a little exaggerated…”


“The effect is very good!” Li Chengqian pointed at the large number of Buckthorn trees in the farm.


“The construction cost isn’t very high either. The investment for an acre of land is about 60,000 yuan.”


“After the construction is completed, it can be used for more than ten years.”


“And ten years later, the soil of the desert has changed. By then, we won’t need these pipes to supply water.”


“However, if we want to move this model to other areas with deserts, I think there are a few problems that need to be resolved!”


“First, the issue of water! Although the root tank mode is more water-saving than the drip irrigation mode, water is always needed. The amount used is not small. We have to solve the water issue first.”


“Secondly, this is a small desert. The sandstorm doesn’t move much, as there’s basically no wind here. Therefore, it’s very simple to deal with it here. However, it’s different in a bigger desert. The wind in the desert is very terrifying. If there’s no relevant measures, the tube you buried today will be gone tomorrow.”


It wasn’t that Li Chengqian was exaggerating, but in reality, this was indeed the case in the desert.


And the main reason why Li Chengqian could achieve such good results in this small desert was not because of how brilliant his method was or how advanced his tubes were.


The most important factor was actually the skill he had obtained from the Master of All Professions game.


Reclamation skill.


It could instantly transform any land into fertile black soil.


Planting skill.


It could accelerate the growth of plants, allowing them to grow a hundred times faster.


These two Skills were the key factors why Li Chengqian could make this small desert lush.


However, Skills were Li Chengqian’s greatest secret. He would definitely not reveal this to anyone.


Therefore, he could only tell Academician Lin Qu what he could.


If the effect of the experiment was not good, Li Chengqian could avoid it.


“These Great Buckthorn fruit trees are very resistant to drought. I think this plant is the most suitable plant for the desert. Do you want to sell the saplings?” Academician Lin Qu looked straight at Li Chengqian.


“Uh… I can’t sell it for the time being!” Li Chengqian was a little speechless. Obviously, Academician Lin Qu wanted to use this opportunity to get the Buckthorn Tree saplings.


Academician Lin Qu looked disappointedly at Li Chengqian. Then, he asked again unwillingly, “Are you selling these fruits? How much are you going to sell them for?”


“I haven’t thought of selling it yet!”


“If you need it, I’ll pick a few for you to eat when you leave,” Li Chengqian said helplessly.


These Buckthorn fruits would not spoil if they were hung on the tree. As time passed, the effects of the Buckthorn fruits would become stronger. The probability of rare treasures appearing in these Buckthorn fruits would also increase. Li Chengqian was reluctant to pluck them.



The reason was one that everyone knew, it was a little late already, and he wasn’t in a good mood…
