Chapter 253: It's hard to stand alone
After the water receded, the entire city of hope was plunged into an intense restoration project.
Because of the flood, some vegetables in the base were still fatally hit.
After inspecting the dam, the small group returned to the base.
There are still those big water ants at the base.
It was the first time for the people at the base to deal with large water ants, and Xiao Tuanzi felt that it was better to look at it.
The place where the large water ants are processed is not in the city, but on a mountain outside the city, and the hole carved out in the mountain.
The Fire Attribute Adept is responsible for regulating the temperature and drying the large water ants.
Then the dried water ants are packed into big bags.
This is not the end of the story, and when the power supply is restored, these large water ants will have to be powdered.
In fact, the wings of the big water ants have already fallen off, and it won't take long for the wings of the big water ants to fall off on their own, but the wings that are left behind, the small balls are not thrown away, but are roasted and dried with the body of the big water ants, waiting for the power to recover and then powder together.
These are also foods that cannot be lost.
After this flood, Xiao Tuanzi had a sense of crisis in his heart, food! If there is no full food at the bottom of the warehouse, she is really uneasy in her heart.
Now there are more and more people in Hope City, and there are more and more mouths. There are so many mouths, and now the scale of planting still has to be expanded.
It's just that there are vegetables or food, and it's not reassuring, and there are not so many prey in the outside world. So there are some things that you still have to collect when you have the opportunity.
It is essential to have something as nutritious as a large water ant that can be stored for a long time.
Everyone has tasted the taste of large water ants for this time, well, it should be said that they are treated as meat.
Because no one has gone out to hunt during this time, everyone has something to do, and because of the rising water, most of the animals have left here, so the prey here can be said to be very few.
Seeing the arrival of the small ball, the person in charge of baking spoke: "Boss, this is already a group of chasers." ”
Xiao Tuanzi nodded.
The probe looked at the large water ants that had been baked next to him.
The wetness and dryness are just right.
I threw a few mouths with my claws, which was similar to eating bean husks, but the taste was not so good.
The smell of earth is very strong. It's not tasty.
Feeling his own thoughts, Xiao Tuanzi couldn't help but shake his head, his current thoughts and the ideas of his previous life are really extravagant.
But it's all once, and if you don't pursue it, it's really wasteful.
It is hoped that the aquaculture industry in the city will also be developed, otherwise it will be difficult to eat meat in the future.
Even if there are a lot of animals outside, but I can't bear the fact that there are many people in the City of Hope, it won't take long to eat, and there will be a lot of prey around, and all the prey will have to be eaten.
In fact, if a batch of large water ants are harvested like this every year, the rest of the animals can be hunted without hunting, and these large water ants can support the needs of everyone in Hope City for nutrients in meat.
But Xiaotuanzi still plans to start breeding.
She would never admit that it was for her own convenience in eating meat later.
It's the third year that the apocalypse has happened, and looking at the size of the bugs, it seems that the bug plague is about to happen?
The thought of this little ball wrinkled his head.
This flood is also a good thing, at least all the hidden bugs in Hope City have been solved.
The insect plague that Xiao Tuanzi is talking about is not the zombie bug he is talking about.
Rather, it is a disaster for the formation of insects after those or mutations.
Don't think that the bugs they cleaned up before were still very weak, and their physique was not big, relying on their own promotion speed, then I hope that Cheng Shao will have three years to meet them.
But there is one thing, the eggs they are now reminded to lay, and then the offspring that develops, are definitely not the size of pre-apocalyptic insects.
During the time they don't grow a crystal nucleus, they don't grow in size, as do their offspring, which is tantamount to speeding up the time it takes for them to advance. But after the crystal nuclei grow, their body shape will be fixed, and they will not grow up, and they are usually about the same size as small balls at that time.
But with the exception of a small number of insects that have a very long lifespan, the rest of the insects have a very short lifespan.
If it weren't for the limitation of lifespan, it feels like the whole earth would be gnawed by them.
Gotta find something to get the people of Hope City ready to fight.
Population in Hope City has always been an issue.
The population is still a little smaller.
I feel like I have to change some people with each other.
And then there's the construction of electrical circuits, and after such a long time, the circuits leading to the outside have basically been completely destroyed by those animals.
But Xiao Tuanzi wanted to lay the circuit into the city she sold to the Nangong family.
It is only with electricity that they can become a place that provides raw materials for themselves far and continuously.
Don't look at the city of hope now, it seems to be developing rapidly and steadily advancing, but God knows, they are now in the resources of a province before the end of the day, and develop a force of less than 5,000 people!
Not to mention how much material in the city was taken away by the flood this time, the remaining things were not enough to support the future development of Hope City, not only could it not be supported, but I don't even know how long it could maintain the status quo.
Industrial raw materials for basic industries, where do they come from? Now they use the city's inventory, but that's limited.
Take, for example, clothing.
The most common is cotton cloth, which can still be done by planting.
In fact, the most common thing in everyone's clothing is polyester, what is polyester, that is, a synthetic substance.
It's a very common thing before the apocalypse, and it has been around for a long time, in 1945.
But do you know what it's made of?
The production process of fiber includes two parts: polyester melt synthesis and melt spinning. The raw materials for the synthesis of polyester are polyterephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, which are mainly obtained from petroleum cracking, but also from coal and natural gas.
These are cheap things before the end of the day, but they are things built on basic industry.
In a word, if you just rely on this corner of Hope City, you may not be able to wear clothes in the end.
Speaking of going back to grow hemp, but just ask, where is hemp?
So many people's clothes, it's really not a small number!
It's not something that can be done with a word, these things can't be jumped out of and must be faced.
Maybe there is another way, which is to directly return to the primitive mode and wear grass skirts, but to be honest, a group of men and women wearing grass skirts and fighting makes people feel incredible when they think about it.
Of course that's the worst thing, it's better to wear animal skins.
But if you talk about wearing animal skins in the summer, tsk, it's definitely flavorful.
