The corner of Ren's mouth lifted slightly, but he said nothing, just waved his hand as another image appeared before them.
What came into view was a massive building. The Goddess of Agriculture was just about to ask when the scene suddenly changed. This was filmed from a visitor's perspective, as if they were there in person. After seeing the massive structure, the image didn't stop but pushed toward the interior core. The moment the image entered the building's interior, all the gods froze.
Row after row of neat cages, all filled with hens. You just had to put feed in a fixed location and an automatic feeding magic conductor system would deliver food to each hen. There was also an automatic cleaning magic conductor system that seemed to use water magic, and light magic providing constant illumination... Walking through the chicken house to the cattle section, the situation was similar. Except they couldn't be stacked, it was pretty much the same... Next came the pig pens, which could hold even more than the cattle section...
What shocked these gods most was that the waste cleaned out had a special area where special magic conductors accelerated its transformation into organic fertilizer...
"Hiss—this is... Technology, are you planning to have mortals use this method to raise livestock in the future?" The Goddess of Agriculture felt her entire worldview being refreshed. She'd overseen agricultural authority for over ten thousand years, but never imagined livestock and poultry could be raised this way! Such a small area could raise so many livestock and poultry!
"This is only part of it. More precisely, this model should be combined with the model mortals currently use, the two complementing each other." Ren smiled. "Now you all should understand why I want to cultivate new varieties of forage, poultry, and livestock, right? We need higher-yield forage that livestock prefer eating, chickens with higher egg production and faster growth rates, cows with higher milk production and more meat, pigs that produce more ribs... more meat... In short, we have only one goal—to let more mortals afford meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables."
"When grain, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, and fruits are all so abundant that no one in the mortal realm will starve anymore, when we can feed several times the population, I think your divine names will definitely appear in the ears of thousands of households along with the crops you research. By then, even if most people become industrial workers and only a small portion remain agricultural workers, your names will still appear in everyone's ears."
The gods couldn't quite understand the latter part of what Ren said. Concepts like industrial population and agricultural population were way too advanced for them. But the idea that everyone could afford to eat, that everything every family ate might bear their divine names—just that alone was full of temptation, a benefit they couldn't refuse.
Looking at the gods' expressions, Ren already knew things were basically settled. But he didn't know that among these gods, a few had actually been inspired by his video with some less-than-great ideas.
"So? Any questions, everyone?" Ren smiled cheerfully, thinking to himself that even in his past life, the modern farms he knew about couldn't possibly reach the level of the system he'd created using magic conductors in this world. Really, doing so many things with magic conductors—the effects were just too advanced.
Forget everything else—just that automatic cleaning system. Even if machinery from his past life could match the cleaning magic conductor's capabilities, the price would definitely be extremely expensive, not something ordinary farms could afford. How could it compare to magic conductors?
As long as self-charging magic arrays and the Magic Power Network were set up, installing such a system to clean an acre of land would cost just two or three gold coins, easily usable for several years. When it broke, you could replace it or repair it—whatever worked. It could be said that any lord wouldn't begrudge this small cost.
And those automatic egg collection magic conductors, those automatic milk collection magic conductors—no need to hire more slaves, just directly expand output by dozens or hundreds of times.
"No more questions." The Goddess of Agriculture shook her head slightly. "I can contribute my divine realm for related experimental research... In my divine realm, plant growth speed accelerates by about ten times, and area temperature and rainfall can all be adjusted. This way, cultivation should be easier, right?"
Ren had just transmitted all the techniques for plant and animal domestication, hybridization, and selection to them as his and the Goddess of Magic's technical stake in joining the Divine Flora and Fauna Research Institute. As gods with related divine authorities, they had strong receptiveness to these "agricultural technologies." They even understood much at a glance, could integrate the knowledge, even optimize it. In their view, the technology Ren provided seemed more like something for mortals to learn, not considering powers like rules, divine authority, or magic at all. And if they incorporated these elements, they'd achieve massive evolution.
After the Goddess of Agriculture revealed her divine realm's properties, many gods' eyes immediately lit up. Growth speed increased about tenfold—some vegetables might even mature in two or three days, most grains could mature in about ten days. This way, hybridization and selection work would become exponentially more efficient.
"I can accelerate plant growth speed, saving about seventy percent more time. Same for animals." The God of Nature's voice brought renewed surprise to the gods. Even Ren couldn't help showing some joy.
In his past life, scientists established experimental fields in tropical regions just to get three harvests per year. That way, after ten-plus years and thirty-plus generations of hybrid breeding, they could cultivate pretty decent products. But this time, with these gods stacking effects, they could even achieve maturation in one day per generation...
Ren didn't dare imagine what terrifyingly powerful flora and fauna they could breed as mortals' main food sources. It would definitely exceed his expectations by far.
"I plan to start by researching grains. Who wants to join me?"
"I plan to research enhanced druid potions, letting more people use more nutritious druid potions."
"I plan to research forage and cattle..."
Soon, these gods began eagerly integrating resources and forming teams, establishing projects one after another. Even Ren was a bit surprised watching this. But thinking it over, he realized this situation wasn't particularly strange. The words the God of War left when he fell had already made them quite nervous, wanting to improve their strength as much as possible. Not to mention, many of their close friends were already madly raking in faith on Magic Net videos, giving them a feeling they'd already fallen behind. They couldn't afford not to be anxious!
