Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Jiang Yichen finished reading the chicken coop and asked about the situation of the tidal flat pond and whether it was affected by the strong wind. Lai Shun'er told him that the pond dam had been reinforced, and there seemed to be no major problems at present.
The two of them then went to the seasoning field and the vegetable field, where the wind was not too strong because it was originally selected according to the terrain, and the various crops were safe.
In particular, the green onion has thick roots, and the method of dense planting is adopted, and the plants are densely placed next to each other. In order to make the most of the land, the row spacing is also shorter than usual. In this way, while increasing the yield, it also plays a windproof effect.
Of course, such a dense planting method must rely on the dual support of space ice water and fertilizer.
The toilet and fertilizer pond built at the beginning of the island also play an active role today, all kinds of kitchen waste, as well as chicken coop manure, are all returned here, not only to digest the garbage, but also to store fertilizer for the vegetable field, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for the disposal of other household waste, it is indeed a problem. Fortunately, there are few people at present, so it is not too troublesome, and those that can be burned are burned and landfilled, and those that cannot be temporarily collected and transported back to land in the future.
However, in any case, it is absolutely forbidden to throw them casually into the mountains and the sea and damage the environment, which is expressly forbidden as soon as the island is developed.
Jiang Yichen has also consulted relevant information on the Internet, and it is said that there is a new scientific and technological achievement, called the solar solar biological waste treatment station, which has the characteristics of green, energy-saving and environmental protection. It is ideal for use on islands that are inaccessible to the outside world.
Of course, this will have to wait until the island is taken and the number of people living in it increases.
After looking around, Jiang Yichen and Lai Shun'er returned to the cave base together. Take stock of the items you brought this time.
This time, in addition to the regular supplies, I also bought a set of natural gas tanks and supporting stoves.
This is used to deal with unexpected needs, such as when it rains continuously, and it is inconvenient to light a fire in the stone stove outside the cave.
But you have to save as much as possible, and there are no ventilation stations on the island.
Not far from the sea at the southwest end of Yunsha Island, the lotus stone is tied to a small sampan, which is rising and falling with the waves.
Below the surface of the water, Jiang Yichen, who was wearing diving goggles and fins, was lying on the back of Leqiu, heading to the pearl mussel gathering and perching depression.
The dozen or so big mussels caught last time survived after Su Xiaojia's pearl extraction. Jiang Yichen plans to release them all today.
Of course, in order not to be confused with other similar species in the future, Jiang Yichen also specially carved the mark of a small circle on their shells with a knife.
Leqiu has been with him for a long time, and with some simple gestures, Leqiu can already be easily recognized, which also makes the communication between the two sides seem to be getting easier and easier.
Of course, now Leqiu's main job is to undertake underwater transportation tasks, similar to the role of land horses.
You must know that although Jiang Yichen can dive and breathe in the water, he is limited to the human body structure, and his movements are slow after entering the water, and even if he puts on flippers, his speed is extremely limited, and he cannot be compared with fish at all.
This has been the case since Leqiu helped, allowing him to move quickly and flexibly to various underwater destinations he wants.
Leqiu's hard-working expression also made Jiang Yichen feel guilty, Leqiu had done so much for him, and he had nothing to repay except for getting a few freshwater fish.
Money, housing, jobs, these things that are hot in the world, but they are worthless when it comes to dolphins. If you want to introduce a girlfriend to it, you don't have the ability.
It seems that we will have to wait for the opportunity to talk about it in the future.
Coming to the narrow underwater depression, the scene of rocks and algae flowing has not changed.
The bottom of the gravel and the surface of the rock are still crawling with mussels of all sizes.
The water temperature here is still higher than in other places, but for a while it is impossible to see where the heat source is, so we can only wait for a special investigation later.
Jiang Yichen got down from the back of the music ball, took out the bead mussels from the bucket of the space channel, and put them on the rock surface in turn, allowing them to move freely.
After the release, he straightened his body, swung his flippers, and continued to search for the large mussels that looked valuable in the rocks. Although a large pearl mussel does not necessarily produce a large pearl, it is certainly much more likely than a small mussel.
Since there are not many wild natural pearls in nature at present, they should be cherished, so he thought about it and decided to only take the old ones.
After searching for a while, I found that most of the pearl mussels were less than 20 centimeters long, and there were only a few above them.
Leqiu was not interested in this inconvenient thing and ran to play nearby.
Jiang Yichen was not discouraged, and continued to search, this narrow strip of land is actually not small, and it is estimated that it will be a habitat for pearl mussels for a long time.
The hard work paid off, and finally, he found his target at the base of two black rocks side by side.
It was three dark brown oblong mussels, and the color of the shell surface was close to the surface of the rock, which played a protective role in color, and it was not easy to find without careful observation.
According to visual inspection, it is estimated that the length may be between 25 and 30 centimeters. It's a rare mussel.
Jiang Yichen was pleasantly surprised, and it was not polite to come over, and he arrested all three big guys and put them into the space bucket.
To say that this pearl mussel is really very characterful, the small one is swaggering unscrupulously outside, but the big one is hiding in a dark corner, for fear of being seen. He thought to himself.
Checking the vicinity again, no new targets were found.
So Jiang Yichen swam back, and caught a few more about 20 centimeters on the way. That's all for today.
He stretched out his hand to the playing Leqiu, and when Leqiu saw it, he swung his head up and down and rushed over quickly.
One person and one dolphin returned along the same road, swimming to a towering reef, Jiang Yichen suddenly remembered something, he slapped the side of the music ball, and the music ball turned according to the instructions and went around to the other side of the reef.
Sure enough, Jiang Yichen soon saw the big clams that almost killed him last time.
The guy was still in place, with a lot less camouflage on his body, revealing his fair nature. The shell was open, and it seemed that the posture was still waiting for the rabbit.
Jiang Yichen came to the top of it, stretched out his legs and stepped on it angrily, and the clams were frightened and quickly closed the shell. It also brought up a patch of sediment.
Regarding the clams, Jiang Yichen later checked the relevant information on the Internet, and it is estimated that a big guy like this one meter three or four should have lived for decades, which is very rare.
According to reports, the price of clams has been speculated in recent years due to the decreasing total amount.
