Chapter 192: Authoritative Release
The bitter cold seemed to disappear overnight, the ice and snow melted, and the bright spring sun took over the southern land the next day. Yesterday, people were still dressed like a stupid bear, but the next day they shouted that the heat was unbearable, and they took off the layers of skin on their bodies, and the conservative ones left two pieces, and the young people who were suffocated wore short shirts directly to welcome the New Year.
After a Spring Festival without whip laughter and ushered in the spring sun, people seemed to be a flock of birds out of the cage, happily out of the cage, shaking their wings, flying into the distance, and began to look around for all useful materials, hunting those zombies with crystal nuclei hidden in their heads.
Regarding the mutation of plants, out of humanitarianism, not long after Jiang Lan discovered it, the No. 25 base had already announced their findings on its official public account in the name of the base, and some subsequent discoveries were also announced through the Internet, reminding all the people in power of the base, warning all those who went out to search for supplies and hunt zombies.
At the beginning, although the news released by the 25th base attracted some attention, it was not taken seriously, most people will subconsciously think that the danger and difficulties are far away from them, and those bad and bad things will not fall on them so unfortunately, only some people with a strong sense of distress will really pay attention to the news released by the 25th base one after another.
When the first incident of being attacked by plants or animals appeared, people believed the news released by Base 25, and when more mutated plants and animals were found to defend and attack themselves, people began to really pay attention to the news released by Base 25, and now the changes in plants and animals are frequently and widely discovered. encountered, people gradually accepted the new changes in the world.
With the mutation of plants and animals, Jiang Lan announced some discoveries that are conducive to the survival and development of human beings in the name of Base 25.
The main content is about the habits, characteristics, hazards, attack methods, edible value, and medicinal value of mutant plants and awakened animals. Of course. Jiang Lan is not encouraging everyone to hunt mutated plants and awakened animals, and it is unwise to erect two new enemies before the zombies are completely wiped out, just to take more precautions, and when plants and animals do not take the initiative to attack, they should mainly prevent and not provoke, and once they are attacked, they can also deal with it. You won't lose your life or get hurt.
The increasing number of survivors has confirmed the authenticity of these contents, and she and Base 25 have become more and more famous and authoritative among the populace. Many people regard Base 25, which was the first to discover this kind of situation, as an authority, and any news it releases will attract a lot of attention and attention, and every message will be reprinted and forwarded frantically as soon as it appears. And in the shortest possible time, it appears in the news videos of various channels.
Pay attention to the official account of Base 25. Paying attention to the news released by Base 25 almost means that your life is more secure, and you will not miss out on some extremely valuable materials because you don't know them.
Zombies have to be hunted, the land has to be planted, people are busy, in addition to being responsible for the fields assigned to their own families, they also have to accept the work arrangements of the base, and plant the fields of the base together.
This is the South. Rice is grown in the paddy fields, and crops such as peanuts and sugarcane are planted on the land. We must also plant a large number of fruits and vegetables, otherwise we will have no land to buy in these last days, and everything will be self-sufficient, and we will have to take what we lack.
The factories that produce fertilizer are not open, and the amount of fertilizer that can be found nearby is insufficient, so people can only return to the original, and when they can pick up the farmyard fertilizer, they will share it, and temporarily meet the needs of the first stage, and then find a way to get various fertilizers elsewhere. For example, to go further afield to collect fertilizer, or to think about how to open the fertilizer factory again, etc. Everything is complicated, and it is not only the mutation of plants and animals that makes the leaders of the base feel headaches.
Jiang Lan's space has excellent seeds to provide, but she can't provide everyone with so much fertilizer. The managers of the crops in her space have always been the five essences, and with the five essences, there is fertile soil, smooth wind and rain, and warm sunshine.
For this reason, Jiang Lan sighed and comforted himself, anyway, the population is not large now, and the grain they saved in autumn is enough for their base to eat for a year or two, and this year's harvest will be less, there will always be a harvest. Since the yield per mu cannot be compared with the past, but there is so much land, but the population is less than 90 percent, even if the yield per mu is only 50 percent, there should not be a shortage of food.
But in fact, Jiang Lan took it for granted, there is not enough fertilizer, how can there be a yield of grain, one plant grows like bean sprouts, half dead, and the good ones are also blind, the leaves are lush and flowering are not fruitful, otherwise it is the grain that bears fruit, when the summer harvest is made, except for a small amount of fertilizer that is sufficient, the grain yield of other fields is generally reduced by ninety, the rice is more grain, the sugarcane is not sweet and sour, the details of the sour stem are more juicy, the peanuts are hollow, not full, and the oil content is less......
Base 25 is not bad, they are just worried about the problem of food production, and in some small and medium-sized bases, they are not worried about the problem of food production, because the land they can grow is not as big as Base 25, and their population is not as large as Base 25, they are worried that the people in the base generally do not have enough force value, even if they cultivate the cultivation of the three major bases and the cultivation of the 25th base, it is difficult to get started, and it is difficult to practice, and their main means of attack is still ability, These people are also the most vulnerable to the attacks of mutated plants and awakened animals, and the casualties are extremely high, and they have reached the point of shaking the hearts of the people, and it has almost become everyone's general will to invest in reliable or large bases.
When the people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, how can we retain these vital forces and retain the foundation of the base? The people in power in the various small and medium-sized bases are worried, their forces are shrinking day by day, and the population is decreasing day by day, and they can only do things in a hurry.
This year, there was a lot of population in the No. 25 base, most of which were migrated from the nearby bases, because the south was far away from the three major bases, and in addition to the three major bases, the best and most wanted base in everyone's hearts was the No. 25 base, so the population lost by the southern bases. Most of them made it to Base 25.
Then, as the population increases, the demand for food becomes greater and greater, and it is foreseeable that food production will continue to be this virtue in the coming years. Their base is also not far from starving.
The leaders of the base are worried, but Jiang Lan is already thinking about whether to contribute his own space to produce food to feed the people in the base, or to limit the population of the base and no longer accept those outsiders to join?
On this day, everyone discussed whether the planting area should be large or small, and how to achieve sustainable development. It was discussed for a long time. In the end, Jiang Lan was asked to make a decision, but Jiang Lan hadn't thought about it in his heart, so he could only break up the meeting in the end. We'll talk about it next time.
Regarding Jiang Lan's difficulties, the five spirits who often accompanied her didn't realize it at first, how could they, the spirits of heaven and earth, understand those things about human beings. But for a long time. After listening to them a lot, they began to have some understanding, and slowly understood what Jiang Lan was worried about.
The others they can't understand, and they can't help, but in terms of plants, climate, and land, it's not wood spirits, water spirits, and earth spirits.
And in terms of temperature, fire essence can also help a little, and there is no problem at all to build a greenhouse or something.
Although the outside world does not maximize their abilities as the inside of the space, they do not need to deliberately cultivate crops as good as space crops.
Seeing Jiang Lan so worried. Xiao Tu, who has a simple temperament, feels that he can talk the most about this matter, and he comes out of the space. appeared in front of Jiang Lan and said to her, "Sister, if you want to make the land fertile, why don't you look for me?" I'm a land elf. ”
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment and asked, "You are a land elf, can you make the land fertile?" Can you also be in the outside world? ”
The earth spirit nodded his little head and said, "Yes, of course, I am an earth elf, this is my instinct." ”
"You mean you want to help me make the land fertile? Wouldn't that hurt you? Jiang Lan frowned and asked, if there is harm, she feels that it is not worth doing that, it is better to save food in the space first, and then take it out for emergency when there is a real shortage of food, she wants sustainable development, and she does not want to rely on damaging the soil spirit to maintain the food supply of the base.
"It's okay, it's okay, sister, it's my instinct! And maybe there will be merit, but it's good for me, and it's also helpful for my practice! After speaking, the earth spirit pursed his little mouth, and his two little hands twisted and squeezed uneasily, and lowered his head in shame.
Hearing the earth spirit say this, Jiang Lan was pleasantly surprised, and the other four spirits also suddenly reacted, and they all turned their surprised eyes on the earth spirit, secretly saying that he didn't expect that Xiao Tu was usually so honest and steady, and he really couldn't see that he was quite good at making small calculations.
Merit, they need it too! After being bound by space for so many years, they finally got out and returned to freedom after Jiang Lan accumulated merit, they knew the importance of merit too well.
Mu Jing hurriedly said to Jiang Lan: "Sister, I can also help, I can make the plants grow well and strong, and produce a lot of food." ”
Hearing Mu Jing say this, Jiang Lan immediately turned his surprised gaze to him: "Really? ”
Mu Jing just wanted to nod yes, but the water spirit had already preemptively said: "Sister, I can also help, I can help with the rain!" Otherwise, even if the wood spirit can make the plants grow well and strong, it will not work without rain. ”
The wood spirit glared at the water spirit: "Can you wait for me to finish?" ”
The fire spirit said: "You all said, now it's my turn, I can also help, sister, I can also help you plant greenhouse vegetables in winter, I should have thought of it last year, if I helped everyone last winter, there would definitely be endless vegetables, but unfortunately I didn't think of it at the time!" ”
The fire spirit was anxious, and he said a lot of words at once, and when he finished speaking, Jiang Lan said funny: "It's okay, it's the same next time." ”
Huo Jing was a little depressed, but Jin Jing was depressed, the four friends could find something suitable for themselves, only he seemed to be an outsider, there was nothing to do, Jiang Lan knew his thoughts, and promised to find something for him to do in the future, which made his mood better.
With the help of soil spirits, water spirits, and wood spirits, Jiang Lan decided not to reduce the planting area and plant the second crop of rice.
Although everyone had some doubts about Jiang Lan's decision, no one questioned or objected, firstly because of Jiang Lan's status, and secondly, because everyone was just crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there was nothing to do if they touched it a few more times.
No one notices the changes that happen quietly in the soil, after all, no one would have thought that the soil would have that kind of change, and no one cares and pays attention.
The soil is not as fertile as possible, and the soil spirit does not make the soil too fertile all at once, he only adjusts the soil to the preferences of the crops.
However, he alone has no way of knowing the preferences of the crops, and these have to be told to him by the wood spirits, and the same water spirits can also know which crops need to be moistened and which ones do not.
Jiang Lan asked some experienced farmers and scholars and professors in related majors, and she was relieved to know that with the growth of these crops, it would definitely be a bumper harvest in the autumn harvest season.
The previous gloom clouds were swept away in the base, and everyone's faces began to smile.
Although it is hard to farm, but there is land and food, I don't panic, I see that the rice is growing well, full of small flowers, and bears ears of rice, and the green chaff is becoming fuller and fuller, turning into golden yellow, and the rice stalk is bent down heavily, and people are also laughing and bending their eyes.
This golden autumn was a bumper harvest season for Base 25, and the harvesters once again drove out of the various warehouses to harvest the rice.
A large number of crystal core harvesters were added to the ordinary harvesters, and those crystal core harvesters were all refined by Ling Yanyou at this time last year, Jiang Lan couldn't help but think a little about things.
Just when Jiang Lan was in a trance, there was suddenly a scolding sound from the rice field, as well as various strange sounds that were different from the voice of the harvester.
Jiang Lan looked curiously, and saw that a crystal core harvester was suffering from a bomb attack on a large area of rice in the rice field, and the driver of the harvester accelerated the speed of harvesting while resisting the bomb attack of all the rice.
Seeing Jiang Lan looking there in surprise, Chen Yongan, who accompanied her to "inspect", shook his head and explained to her helplessly: "This is a mutated rice, and the rice must be harvested to prevent them from shooting out of the rice, otherwise when they shoot all the rice, there will be no harvest, so when you encounter such rice, you must speed up the harvest." However, speeding up the harvesting is a function that only the crystal core harvester has, and if you change to an ordinary harvester, you will have to let them shoot the millet on the ears of rice. ”
"How can this be?" Jiang Lan thought it was really interesting, "There must be something special about these mutated rice." (To be continued.) )
