Chapter 10 Potato Cultivation Essentials
"Record, sixth Martian day!"
"It's morning, Mars time has just come to the afternoon, the anchor has finished his daily work, cleaned up the sand and dust on the photovoltaic panels, the equipment is running normally, everything is OK!"
"According to observation, the weather in the coming day is not bad, in the next twenty-four hours, the wind is basically maintained at level 2-3 breeze, 1,500 kilometers away is forming a sandstorm, the intensity is expected to be level 4, fortunately the base is not in the route, it is very safe here!"
"Our next task is to dig a manure pit!"
[Barrage: Please pay attention to your wording, it's you who pay, not us!]
[Barrage: Is the manure pit serious?]
[Barrage: I don't know about Mars, no, are there feces in the dung pits of the Gobi Desert?]
[Barrage: Live broadcast with inner flavor!]
......
After putting on the spacesuit, Chen Mulin walked out of the base and walked around to the back of the bathroom at the base, where there was an object with a biohazard mark, that is, a place where excrement was stored.
Flipping over the cover, the real face inside was shown in the live broadcast room, and it was not the kind of manure pit that I imagined, it looked like a storage compartment, very neat and clean, and the feces were all vacuum-packed.
Chen Mulin smiled sinisterly: "Isn't it very disappointing, isn't it an imaginary dung pit?"
"Of course, this is Mars, not Earth, feces will not be allowed to be directly exposed to the surface of Mars, these things are vacuum-packed, if it is food, the shelf life of ten years is appropriate!"
[Barrage: Washing can still be used!]
[Barrage: Ten years of shelf life, unwrap it and fry it until it is golden brown, and the Martian next door is crying!]
[Barrage: Don't really say it, maybe the Martians are like this?]
[Barrage: This prop is full of points, it is recommended to use it nationwide!]
[Barrage: The third brother is dying of envy!]
......
Chen Mulin began to take out the packed feces inside, put them into the frame he brought, and said: "Because I haven't been in Mars for a long time, I don't have a lot of nutrients for growing potatoes because I have been in the market for a month, but it should be enough to plant potatoes." ”
"In the next time, if the potato planting is successful, maybe the scale of planting will be expanded, and it will require more organic fertilizer, so it's almost time to think about what to do in the future!"
[Barrage: The anchor actually lived in the Gobi Desert for a month without telling us!]
[Barrage: The truth, the first step towards Mars!]
[Barrage: The anchor needs more, do you need help? As long as you need it, the brothers can stuff the dung pit in minutes!]
[Barrage: 666...... The amount of is amazing!】
......
Back at the base, Chen Mulin didn't take off his spacesuit, just clumsily brought an iron bucket, cut open the vacuum bag, and poured the excrement inside.
"Brothers, this is the essence!"
"As you can see, it's all dehydrated, and if I don't wear a spacesuit, I can imagine what it tastes like now, so to speak, I can feel it through the spacesuit!"
[Barrage: The anchor ate a pound!]
[Barrage: Screen Separation Series!]
After pouring all the excrement into the bucket, Chen Mulin added appropriate water and stirred it into a paste with a small shovel, the kind that can be drawn, and did not forget to show it to the water friends.
"Imagine this is batter, the anchor's craftsmanship is absolutely amazing!"
"The essentials of potato planting, dig the manure pit first, and then stir up the! Remember, if you are lucky enough to come to Mars in the future, maybe these experiences will be useful to you!"
When everything was ready, Chen Mulin put the potatoes on the table and began to cut them one by one.
"Potato cutting and planting, can make the potatoes sprout early, about 20-30 grams per piece, remember to choose the bud eye intact, Fei has not waited for the sprout to rot in the ground, the cut can not be too small, otherwise it will cause insufficient nutrients, and it will also rot in the ground. ”
After a while, Chen Mulin had already cut all the potatoes into pieces, lifted the iron bucket of Zhuang's organic fertilizer and potatoes, and began to sow seeds.
The soil was brought in from outside, it was already very loose, and it was very easy to sow the seeds, so he first shoveled out the ditches with a shovel, arranged the potatoes in advance at fifty centimeters intervals, and then added fertilizer one by one and began to fill in the soil and water.
Relatively speaking, potato cultivation is relatively simple, and the survival rate is also very high, without much planting experience.
As for the cutting technique, it is also very simple, as long as you find the bud eye, if you really can't, then come to a simple and rude, directly bury the whole potato into the ground, anyway, after watering, the land will sprout when it is damp, but it will sprout slower than those that have been treated.
In addition, this rough way of planting potatoes in the soil also has great disadvantages, because there is more than one potato sprout, which will cause more germination and more flowering, which is easy to cause malnutrition, slow growth of potatoes, small size, and low yield.
After a series of operations, the time has gradually come to noon.
In order to reward himself for a hard morning, Chen Mulin decided to stop eating instant noodles for lunch and want something good.
"Brothers, guess what the anchor eats at noon today?"
When he came to the food storage room, Chen Mulin went straight in one direction, so he sold Guanzi.
[Barrage: Eat!]
[Barrage: I've eaten a pound, aren't you full yet?]
[Barrage: Could it be the aged old bacon on the beam of my house?]
[Barrage: I'm looking forward to it, it won't be a full Han banquet, right?]
Chen Mulin looked at the barrage and smiled: "Don't be funny, can you afford to eat that stuff from the Manchu Han banquet when you watch the anchor?"
[Barrage: The spaceships have blown up, not enough to be proud?]
Chen Mulin replied: "That's no need to pay!"
[Barrage: It's not enough to be strong in the background?]
Chen Mulin replied: "The background is a supercomputer, virtual intelligence, you can't sleep or play!"
After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, Chen Mulin took out a red package and shook it in his hand: "Don't guess, this is a bag of hot pot base, I only found it last night, a whole box, it's a blessing!"
[Barrage: Say so much, do you have hot pot ingredients?]
Chen Mulin shook his head: "Don't think about the ingredients for hot pot, but there are a lot of dehydrated vegetables, and those meats can still be remade after washing!"
I'm excited to think about it, I don't know what the taste of Kung Pao Chicken is used to make a hot pot, I haven't tried it before!
However, those dehydrated vegetables, as long as they are slightly soaked in water, are not much different from ordinary vegetables, and the taste is still there.
Chen Mulin is very proud, it seems that he is the first person to eat hot pot on Mars!
Destined to go down in history!
Preparing everything, Chen Mulin did not forget the remaining potatoes and cucumbers, and cut them into slices, which were the only fresh ingredients, and he couldn't wait to eat them.
"Brothers, the first hot pot on Mars!"
"What are you waiting for?
