God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 404: It Starts Skyrocketing Directly

Viscount Roster’s complete openness made the livestream viewers more and more convinced. All their questions were answered.

Who knows how many people with land seemed to already see their land producing countless amounts of grain.

Who knows how many people without land also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they probably wouldn’t keep going hungry in the future. After all, there was more grain now.

Actually, this situation had already made some people realize that grain prices would probably drop a bit. But most people hadn’t thought about how much grain prices would drop, and felt that even if prices dropped, with yields increased by so much, so what?

Driven by this kind of thinking, the Southern Development Corporation’s stock price continued to soar crazily.

Earlier, Viscount Roster had already split the Southern Development Corporation’s stock.

Before today, the Southern Development Corporation’s stock price had been merely 0.23 gold coins. But in just one day, it had already skyrocketed to 0.71 gold coins.

It had directly multiplied several times. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Even Dragon Delivery’s stock price at this moment was far inferior to the Southern Development Corporation.

But even so, the Southern Development Corporation’s stock price still seemed to be soaring.

Until the market closed, it was still in an upward trend.

The livestream continued until the sky got somewhat dark, when the working harvesters finally returned to the city warehouses one after another.

At the same time, the person in charge of the granary also reported today’s harvest results.

"Lord Knight, the count is complete. Today we harvested a total of 48,000 acres, for a total harvest of 102.72 million pounds of grain!"

If a person eats 300 pounds of grain a year, they absolutely won’t starve to death. At 500 pounds, basically every meal is filling.

Over 100 million pounds of grain was enough to feed 200,000 people for a year.

Just under 50,000 acres, just one day of harvesting, could actually do this—it was really, really hard to believe.

You have to know that in the current era, people generally felt that if 5 acres of land could feed one person, that was already considered very good planting. Even if it took 10 acres to feed one person, that wasn’t strange.

But now?

One acre could feed four people!

The entire livestream was shocked!

"By the Goddess of Harvest, this is just too amazing."

"Over a hundred million pounds of grain—I feel like I couldn’t eat even a fraction of that in my whole life."

"I knew there would be a great harvest, knew there would be a lot, but I never expected it could be this much!"

"Just under three hundred people handling the harvest could harvest such a huge area, could harvest so much grain—unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"

"This world is getting crazier and crazier. Next year I’m also planting this Golden Spike Grain. I don’t care if it tastes good or not, I’m planting it!"

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn’t dare believe it."

"..."

The entire livestream exploded, but people discovered that Viscount Roster looked completely calm. After hearing the report, he just nodded slightly:

"Today we did waste some time, plus everyone’s not that familiar with this new agricultural magic-powered machinery, so efficiency was a bit low."

"But it’s fine. The Church of Agriculture people say the weather will be good the next few days. After getting familiar today, tomorrow’s efficiency will improve a lot."

"I just don’t know how the harvesting situation is in our other cities. After the banquet, I’ll ask around. Everyone, let’s head into the city—the banquet’s about to start."

Viscount Roster called people to walk toward the city interior.

The livestream viewers probably couldn’t imagine that right now, the Southern Development Corporation held a terrifying 20 million acres of land. You could say the grain produced from this land was enough to meet the needs of 80 to 100 million people.

The entire continent’s population was only about that much.

Of course, the scene being livestreamed here was just the tip of the iceberg.

To keep harvesting running smoothly, Viscount Roster had sent out a full 20,000 harvesters of different sizes. You could say that except for the harvesters sold to the Church of Agriculture, all the harvesters on the entire continent were already running.

However, this information couldn’t be revealed right now.

With such a huge grain production impact, grain prices would inevitably crash. This suddenly elevated stock price might not be able to keep rising.

Only after he’d sold off most of his stock would it be time to expose all this.

Soon, the group returned to the city.

Upon entering, they discovered that the entire city was basically decorated everywhere. The smooth roads were covered with tables, with all kinds of delicious food on them.

Under Viscount Roster’s scientific governance, there were no longer any of the stinking streets that commonly existed in this era.

"Lord Knight, this... why are there tables and food everywhere? Could this banquet be..."

The convoy leader looked at this scene and couldn’t help but swallow.

"Yes, a banquet for everyone in the entire city."

Viscount Roster said with a smile, "This Southern Territory is different from other places. Right now, in the entire Southern Territory, everyone has already joined the Southern Development Corporation. Our company’s having a great harvest, so naturally all employees should celebrate together."

"Of course, you could also say this is to boost everyone’s morale. I’m sure you also saw from the scenes the magicians filmed from the sky today—we have way too much farmland. Even though our harvesters are very powerful, trying to finish harvesting in a short time is still quite difficult."

"So starting tomorrow, everyone who’s not working will participate in the harvest. Although they can’t compare to agricultural magic-powered machinery, we have strength in numbers. I’m sure we can harvest quite a bit."

Hearing Viscount Roster’s explanation, people suddenly understood.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but be shocked. Such a huge territory, basically equivalent to a duchy, had actually had all personnel join the Southern Development Corporation.

Such a terrifying scale—the Southern Development Corporation was even more terrifying than they’d imagined!

"Besides that, there’s one more thing. With the help of agricultural clerics, Golden Spike Grain has already been made into a batch of flour. All the staple foods at this banquet are made from Golden Spike Grain. Everyone can have a taste."

"Oh? Then I really need to have a good taste. This might become our main food source in the future," the convoy leader said with some surprise.

The two sang in harmony, and the livestream viewers also got a bit curious. Almost everyone was very curious about this new grain.

At this moment, inside the entire city, there were already sounds of celebration everywhere.

Today’s harvest situation had already spread throughout the city.

If this were a regular territory, everyone wouldn’t really have much feeling about a good harvest. After all, it had nothing to do with them.

But here it was different—everyone could share in this huge harvest!
