Chapter 2: The Great Hunt
However, such a large mobilization of national power has led to a shortage of electricity, but the current tightening of the 'trouser' belt is just to be able to live a better life in the future, and everyone has endured the past.
Fortunately, although Liu Ye's projects are more than one by one, but at present, the most important thing in the capital is the population, Liu Ye, who has more than 30 cities, is rich enough to support all the current projects.
What surprised Liu Ye the most was the discovery of a bread tree similar to that of the American bread tree, which was found in the southern hills. This tree contains a lot of starch, and by chance, a woman or woman accidentally heated the starch of the coagulated bread tree, and obtained a delicacy that resembled bread in the past.
This discovery once again changed the eating habits of the metropolitan country, and people began to study more ways to eat bread trees. As a result, various new ways of eating appeared, and high-energy foods such as toast, sandwich bread, and 'meat' muffin bread appeared one after another.
At the same time, it has also been found that bread products that taste good can be obtained by adding the right amount of bread tree starch to flour made from other food crops.
However, there is still a slight difference between the taste of this food and that of bread trees, which are fluffier and softer, but the taste of other flours is a little tougher.
In order to make a distinction, people call bread bread made from bread trees, and those made from other flours are called steamed bread.
Bread and steamed buns are quite popular with people, and slowly these two foods began to serve as people's staple food.
After research, it was found that the original bread starch contains a natural edible alkali, which is very suitable for the fermentation of pasta foods and adds a unique taste.
At the same time, Liu Ye and the others were also inspired by bread and steamed buns, and invented compressed biscuits, which contain a lot of energy and are small in size, and have become the standard military food of Dadu. Of course, it is also one of the important materials currently reserved in the metropolitan country.
Mutant organisms are currently the only source of 'meat' for people. When Liu Ye and the others domesticated the first domestic animal, there was already a stable source of 'meat' food.
To the south, about fifty kilometers from Pure Land Castle, there is a continuous mountainous area. From here, it has spread to the surrounding area for 300 kilometers, and Liu Ye has positioned the largest planting and breeding base in Dadu Country.
After a period of deliberate artificial cultivation, the local soil has been improved and the pH level here is fully suitable for growing crops. And with hundreds of years of recuperation, the soil here has been rich in nutrients to the point of flowing water.
Vegetables such as mutated spinach, Chinese cabbage and mushrooms have been improved and can be used again, which Liu Ye specially requested. After all, as a Chinese person, without vegetables, most of the Chinese food civilization is missing.
The field is filled with vegetables, and the area is full of oily green and white whites. There is no longer a single crack in the previously parched ground, and it is all hidden by the roots of the plants.
Such a piece of green 'color' will naturally not be let go by other creatures. Mutated white pigs with white 'flowers' and 'flowers', mutated turkeys with beautiful feathers, mutated wild horses with manes like grass swinging, mutated goats with sharp horns on their heads, and large, short-tempered mutated two-headed cows can all be found here.
In addition to all kinds of livestock, there are other mutated organisms here, after all, all living things can only develop for a long time if they form a recirculating food chain and a suitable biological environment.
This area is a test area, and they are grazed in the wild in order to find the best varieties. There is no need to worry about these mutated creatures getting lost, and there are special 'doors' waiting for each group of livestock.
They were required to stock in the zoned area, and had to count the numbers every day, while recording the changes in the mutant organisms in this stocking environment.
In addition, there are more than a dozen large farms on the periphery of this area, which are the test fields for Guyang's experiments. Perhaps one day, excellent varieties that can completely solve the problem of human food will be born in an inconspicuous corner of the farmland.
At the same time, other breeding sites that have formed a scale, in addition to providing the necessary 'meat' food, but also to process and preserve all kinds of egg 'milk' products.
Cow milk and chicken eggs were considered essential nutrients by humans before the war, and the eggs and milk products produced in the wasteland were more nutritious.
The source of egg 'milk' products is limited, and its price is high at any time, but Liu Ye still issued an order for the future development of the people: "Give priority to young people and pay attention to the nutritional supply of young people!" ”
As a result of this order, every child under the age of 10 in the capital receives a 1:1 supply of eggs and 'milk' products every day, and the resulting losses are subsidized by the local municipal system.
Although the additional expenditure on egg and milk food will reduce the production of livestock, the strong reproductive ability of mutant organisms and the patience of people have now formed a stable egg and milk production circle.
There are as many as 20 artificial biospheres like this in most metropolitan countries. The 20 biospheres are divided into 'phyla' according to their different environments, with specialized 'phyla' providing food crops, 'phyla' providing edible vegetables, 'meat' providing 'meat', and 'milk' products providing eggs.
These 20 artificial biospheres may not only occupy land but also 'waste' resources, but their future development will bring greater impetus to the city.
After Liu Ye gave the order a month ago, all the citizens began to sweep the surrounding wasteland.
In the early 'spring' season, the mutated creatures who had just woken up from hibernation wanted to satisfy their appetite, but they did not expect to meet even hungrier guys than them.
What's more, these mutated creatures are surprised that these guys are actually human beings who had no power to resist before, and could only be reduced to food in their mouths.
Over time, the people have learned how to hunt mutated creatures on their own. They no longer use the gunpowder weapon in their hands, but each hand has a bloodstained steel knife, using the Tai Chi knife technique and beast-shaped fist taught by Liu Ye to hunt wild beasts.
This set of Tai Chi knife techniques has been improved by Liu Ye and them, and the power has increased greatly. Liu Ye also teaches according to the level of ability, if the level of Xuan Qi is not enough, he will teach the simple knife method, if the Xuan Qi has just reached the bottom line, he will teach the intermediate knife method, and if the Xuan Qi and the understanding 'sex' are good, the advanced knife method will be taught.
As for the complete Tai Chi knife technique, it is uniformly taught to the army of the capital country, and is not taught in the people. It is also forbidden for anyone to teach this set of sword techniques 'privately', and if there is a disobedient person, they will be recovered from the sword technique and the cultivation of the Xuan Qi.
After such a strengthened ability, all the people lack is experience, and the best opponents in the heart are the various mutated creatures in the wasteland. From the beginning of the rustiness to the future proficiency, the more practice and more use, the more you can feel the mystery of this set of knife techniques.
With the extension of time, more and more people have passed the simple knife method and began to learn the intermediate knife method, and their strength is steadily improving.
In particular, their knife skills are practiced in the bloody struggle with mutant creatures, which naturally has a fierce murderous aura, most of them have participated in the war or have a few lives in their hands, and the knife skills are even more ruthless and sophisticated.
Liu Ye does not require that this set of knife techniques still be used to defeat the enemy when fighting, he just hopes that through this set of knife techniques, he can hone the people and exercise the people's willpower and faith.
His idea was undoubtedly correct, and people found that any guy with sharp and fierce knife skills would naturally have this kind of momentum when using a firearm.
This kind of momentum is very strange, and it can affect the opponent's state within a certain range, and the degree of influence is related to the size of the momentum and the level of willpower.
According to the theory of ancient Chinese martial arts, Liu Ye is raising guns with knives and teaching people more advanced skills.
Every day, the citizens began to hunt and hunt, and they ordered the sulfuric acid dogs to "force" out the mutated creatures lurking around them, and then shouted and rushed forward with their steel knives held high.
In a dangerous, bloody but thorny fight, the beast's limbs or nerve centers are severed, incapacitated, and thrown onto trucks full of half-dead mutants.
This is done only to keep the food fresh, especially in the hot season, so that it can already spoil when it reaches the city.
According to Liu Ye's instructions, the people have kept the number of organisms that must be kept to a minimum.
Anything below this limit would destroy the wasteland's ecosystem.
Now, large-scale hunting has greatly affected the ecosystem of the wasteland, and many seasonal creatures have disappeared.
However, Liu Ye still didn't care, he thought so: "Anyway, when the sun returns to the earth, there is a chance that these creatures will not survive, instead of rotting in the wasteland and turning into a pile of dry bones, it is better for me to do it to fill the hungry stomachs of the people!" ”
It is under this kind of thinking that people's hunting behavior is becoming more and more 'vigorous'. Similarly, mutated creatures in the wasteland are becoming scarcer.
Because of human hunting, mutated creatures instinctively sensed that the area was no longer suitable for them, and the largest migration in the history of the wasteland began.
This migration was not because of climate change, but because of Liu Ye's hunting operations. In the capital, countless mutated creatures can be seen running towards the north in a hurry every day, which is quite spectacular.
