Only 1,000 harvesters were used to reap the 100,000 mu of cornfields. Therefore, it would take four days to complete the harvest. After all, not many harvesters were deployed into the dinosaur world on the first day. For the second batch, the number of harvesters would certainly increase severalfold.
That evening, corn appeared in the mess halls and markets of Lianglong City.
Yuan Liguo, a construction worker, went to the market after work. His wife had asked him to buy groceries on his way home.
Yuan Liguo arrived at the market. As soon as he entered, a large banner declared, "New Corn Harvested!"
Seeing the banner, Yuan Liguo's heart immediately rejoiced. Corn? Had corn finally become available?
Yuan Liguo hurried into the market. He saw that the vegetable stalls were already crowded with people buying produce.
Fearing he wouldn't be able to get any corn, Yuan Liguo rushed to the vegetable stall. Upon arrival, he saw large piles of corn cobs displayed on the stall.
People crowded around the stall, picking out corn and placing it on the scale.
The stall employees continuously weighed the produce. Everyone who came to buy vegetables bought several ears of corn.
These corn cobs occupied half of the stall's display space.
Yuan Liguo looked around and picked out four ears of corn. Then he placed them on the scale.
The stall employee glanced at them and said, "10.3 yuan. I'll make it 10 yuan for you."
Yuan Liguo quickly replied, "I also want this giant bracken fern. Calculate them together!"
The stall employee did the calculation and said, "Together, that's 13 yuan."
After paying, Yuan Liguo happily took his vegetables and returned to his dormitory.
On his way back, Yuan Liguo passed by the mess hall and could still hear people coming out, discussing the evening's menu.
"I can't believe there's corn tonight. It's been so long since I've had corn."
"Didn't the news online say they were harvesting corn today? Haven't you seen the news?"
"I did! I just didn't expect that they would harvest it today and we'd be eating corn in the mess hall tonight."
"Isn't that normal? This is Lianglong City, after all. It's right next to Lianglong Plains. It's not difficult to transport it here."
"It's good to be close to the production area. It's not as good for Sanjiaolong City and Canglong City, is it? They won't be able to eat corn today."
"You don't need to worry about that. Check the news on your satellite phone. The news said that the corn has also been transported to Sanjiaolong City and Canglong City. They are also eating corn today."
"100,000 mu of corn harvested. I wonder what the yield will be?"
"The news has already stated that the yield of fresh corn this time is 1900 kilograms per mu. These 100,000 mu of corn have yielded 190,000 tons of fresh corn."
"190,000 tons of fresh corn. That will last for quite a while."
"No, no, this fresh corn will be consumed quickly. Besides the people in our dinosaur world who need to eat it, people in the magic world also need to eat it. And the soldiers in the Dragon Country mainland also need to eat it. Of course, this cannot yet be supplied to the Dragon Country mainland market, as there are spies from other countries on Blue Star in the mainland market."
"Haha, I didn't realize you knew so much about this."
"If you read more military analyses on the dinosaur world websites, you'll know."
"..."
After listening for a while, Yuan Liguo returned to his dormitory.
As soon as he entered, Yuan Liguo said, "Wife, do you know what I bought? This is a delicacy!"
"It's corn, isn't it? Don't keep me in suspense. I know you bought corn."
"How did you know?"
"The Little Dinosaur app is full of news about the corn harvest, and there's news about corn appearing in the market. Of course, I know."
"Then let's steam corn tonight."
"..."
People all over the dinosaur world ate corn at the first opportunity. Even construction workers tens of thousands of kilometers away received air-delivered fresh corn.
This was all under Su Han's orders. At the time, a logistics director from the Otherworld Development Department had asked Su Han why he was spending so much effort and resources to transport so much fresh corn to every major construction site in the dinosaur world.
Su Han explained that it was to let the builders in the dinosaur world know that their efforts had yielded results.
Of course, this was mainly in the dinosaur world. In the magic world, there was no large-scale transportation of corn. Only a large batch of fresh corn was transported to the base where the magic world portal was located. The magic world had sufficient supplies, so there was no urgent need to transport corn elsewhere.
However, relevant information was still sent to everyone's satellite phone in the magic world.
Chinese students studying in the three magic universities also saw the news about the 100,000 mu corn harvest in the dinosaur world on their satellite phones.
They enthusiastically discussed the harvest news in their Chinese student group chats.
"The corn in the dinosaur world has finally been harvested! That's great. They harvested 100,000 mu at once."
"Next will be the harvest of 200,000 mu of wheat. After that will be the harvest of rice. I haven't eaten rice in so long."
"I miss rice terribly too."
"For noodles, we have giant bracken flour as a substitute. But for rice, we can only rely on rice paddies."
"Although the noodles made with giant bracken flour are delicious, I still miss noodles made with wheat flour."
"..."
That evening, the 789 students continued their discussions late into the night.
The dinosaur world was not very fast in its agricultural development. Therefore, before corn, wheat, and rice could be produced in large quantities, a large amount of local food from the dinosaur world was still needed. Thus, the production of giant bracken flour in the dinosaur world had not stopped.
Meanwhile, with the harvest of 100,000 tons of corn, some reserve grains were released in the Dragon Country mainland of Blue Star.
In a city in the Dragon Country, people went to their usual fixed food vendors to purchase their seven-day rations, just like any other day.
"Seven days' worth of food for me."
The staff member took out several vegetables, fruits, and a bag of flour from the food stall.
"New additions to the food today; each person's seven-day ration has been increased by one jin of flour."
The person who bought the food exclaimed excitedly, "Flour? Is it really flour? The government has released flour. Flour, it's been so long since we've had flour."
News of the Dragon Country providing flour immediately went viral on the Dragon Country's mainland internet.
The common people in the Dragon Country mainland had not eaten flour-based foods for a very long time. Thus, the one jin of flour provided by the Dragon Country immediately triggered a related online storm.
This news also spread to other countries.
Other countries' immediate reaction was to label this news as fake. And in order to sow discord in the Dragon Country, they also had their lackeys in the Dragon Country smear the Dragon Country.
Naturally, the Dragon Country arrested another batch of traitors who had sold out their country.
