Chapter 132: Food for Humans
The big python meat stored in Ning Xiao's space finally reached the moment when it was eaten, and the scientific research institute also began to investigate it. They found that after the beast was killed, it could only be eaten by humans if it had been soaked in water after the ice cubes of the ice powerhouses had melted into water.
What is especially amazing is that this kind of alien beast meat that has been soaked in ice water actually has the effect of stimulating abilities for ordinary people. The leadership of the Qinan base hurriedly reported the situation. After receiving this news, Cheng Ziyang, who was in Song Gu's office, immediately instructed all bases in Huaxia to promote this method of edible alien beast meat after soaking in ice water.
For a while, the ice-type ability, which has always been cold, has become a sought-after commodity. The popularity of the base is no less than that of the water powerhouse. You must know that the fresh water supply of many bases depends entirely on the preferences of the water system ability. The more he pleased, the more he supplied. If you are not happy, you will supply less or even ask for a leave of absence and do not supply.
Next, in addition to starting to hunt alien beasts, some bases also started the idea of domesticating alien beasts. After all, the process of turning pigs from wild beasts to domestic animals is the most important part of the development of human civilization. Almost everyone as an adult knows that pigs are domestic.
Now that meat dishes are available, it shouldn't be too late for rice and vegetarian dishes! On the contrary, their research has been long and frustrating.
It wasn't until Ning Zongnan completed the improvement of his ability in the secret room and stepped out of the door of the secret room that Ning Xiao received a small bag of rice-like seeds that he had collected in the form of completing the task by a team composed of the Ning family's abilities.
As soon as the scientific research institute received this small bag of alien seeds, it immediately found Ning Xiao and invited her to participate in the cultivation of this small bag of seeds.
At this time, there were many fewer people in the Ning family. Song Dai and several other seniors also completed the ability upgrade in their respective spaces. As soon as they got out of the space, they didn't have time to adjust their abilities after upgrading, so they quickly left the Qilian base with their men.
In fact, this is also a helpless thing for them. Because Cheng Dashao has been waiting for them at the Song Gu base for a long time. Obviously, if they don't return to the Song Gu base, he won't come to the Qilian base. This is invisibly, forcing them to stay away from the Ning family and from Ning Xiao.
Coincidentally, at this time, Ning Boxiao, the eldest son of the Ning family, finally walked out of the space. He was finally promoted to the fourth level of ability, and when he knew that Ning Shuxiao was already level five, he was not as excited as Ning Jixiao, and just patted Ning Shuxiao on the shoulder.
With Ning Zongnan, who had just returned home, he had a passionate hug. At the same time, he also followed Ning Jixiao to Ma Xiuyun and discussed with Ning Zhongxiao how to run a restaurant. He just ignored Ning Xiao.
Ning Xiao knew that he was hypocritical. She also knows very well that the eldest and the fourth are two extremes, just like their rankings. One of them was dissatisfied with her, and he vented it on the spot. One is partial to her, and he will only hold it in his heart. Until you can't bear it anymore, you will vent it all at once.
She didn't bother to be jealous of these younger brothers and fuck those bullshit hearts. Last time, Ning Jixiao and Ma Xiuyun teamed up to make her sleep badly all night. So much so that she had to run to the space to rest. The system was overjoyed and let her sleep with him in her arms.
But, as soon as you wake up, don't be surprised. She took the leather whip and took advantage of Ma Xiuyun to go to work, and beat Ning Jixiao fiercely when she mentioned it.
Ning Jixiao's ghost cried wolf, and even Qin Ji and Fang Hou had to hug each other. They secretly swore in their hearts: If you provoke the heavens and the earth, you can't provoke the madness of your brother.
When she is kind to you, she buys you wine and meat to eat. When it's not good for you, the whip whips you without negotiation.
Obviously, this time, Ning Xiao will obviously make such a move to deal with Ning Boxiao. Ning Jixiao really wanted to remind the boss: Don't talk to the old lady. A few of our brothers have crossed mouths with her, and she will whip us a few times.
But as soon as he thought of Ning Shuxiao's ability level five, his heart became angry again, so he didn't bother to tell Ning Boxiao. Anyway, he has already been whipped, and one more person will be whipped to be his companion
It's a pity that Ning Jixiao is destined to be disappointed this time. Ning Xiao received the personnel of the scientific research institute, looked up at the noise of the family reunion in the house, and decided to leave the house with the personnel of the scientific research institute immediately. After all, the people live on food. She has to take care of everyone before she can take care of the small family.
Seeing the small bag of alien seeds clearly, Ning Xiao asked the scientific researchers to bring a liquid cup. She first poured water from her own space into the liquid cup, then soaked the seeds in it, and observed the changes of the seeds in the water.
"I think," she explained to the researcher next to her. "To some extent, both the alien beast and the alien plant are mutations caused by the same substance. So, after soaking in the same water, can the toxic substances contained in the xenovegetation be also removed? ”
"Well, that makes sense, you should give it a try!" The researchers nodded their heads and took detailed notes.
After soaking for a while, Ning Xiao took out the alien seeds and planted them again.
She doesn't plan to plant the seeds in an incubator in the lab, but plans to plant them directly in the field outside. In order to facilitate her research, she only asked someone to build a scaffolding next to the field. At this time, there is a lack of materials, and the plastic greenhouse has become yesterday's dream.
"You can't raise it too preciously," Ning Xiao still had to discuss with the scientific researchers. "Otherwise, even if the things grown can be eaten, the cost is too high, and no one wants to farm, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses."
"Yes, that's exactly what happened!" The researchers continued to take notes.
However, in the gradual exchange, the researchers learned that Ning Xiao's personality was not as light as it seemed, and then it was a little casual to say it.
"Ning Xiao," a young scientist asked. "Why don't you just cultivate it with a wood-based ability, that would save a lot of time and effort, and make it easier to produce results?"
"Slow work makes careful work," Ning Xiao explained patiently. "If we let our wood-based abilities use their abilities to urge them to grow, bloom, and bear fruit, then the data obtained will not have any reference value for you, and it is not cost-effective!"
"Moreover, those data that have no reference value will make it difficult to promote the grown food to the whole of China. If that's the case, we and you are both doing day jobs, which not only delays time, but also delays energy. ”
"In other words, if one day the base is infested by a zombie horde, all of our Anomalous will have to take on the responsibility of guarding the base. If, I'm talking about, if all the wood-based adepts on the base die in battle, then how are you going to plant them so that humanity can continue to thrive? ”
"If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries!" Ning Xiao paused before continuing. "You know, this is a collaboration between our Wood Adepts and your researchers."
"In a way, we Wood Adepts are only assisting you with your experiments. When the experiment is completed, all the data will be summarized by you, made into an experiment report, and reported directly to the base leader. ”
"So, you can't put the cart before the horse!" After Ning Xiao finished speaking, he reached out and buried those seeds into the soil one by one.
Looking at Ning Xiao's hands that can move the growth of plants at will, they are covered with black mud in an instant, and at the same time, he is so careful to plant seeds into the soil, as if he is taking care of his most beloved treasure. The technologists were embarrassed too. They also put down their work and joined in the planting.
A few days later, the seeds emerged. Ning Xiao heard the news and ran over to guard it all day. After a few more days, the seedlings are growing well. The scientific and technological personnel told Ning Xiao that this was likely to be a rice seedling. Then, the scientific and technological personnel patiently explained the transplanting of seedlings to Ning Xiao.
To be honest, whether in his previous life or in this life, Ning Xiao has never stayed in the countryside. Before the end of the world, she also thought about storing food all day long, and never put any effort into growing food.
It's the system in the space, except for planting some herbs with the small incense burner, it is better to sit in front of the laptop every day and play games than to take care of the field that has been barren for a long time.
His reason is also very high-sounding, the grain in the granary is piled up, and he can't eat it all! When he finishes eating, there is not a grain of grain left, and it is not too late for him to find a way to grow food.
Ning Xiao knew that he was bored in the space alone, so he let him be too lazy to become a god.
On this day, the weather was quite good. Ning Xiao first filled a field with water that penetrated from the space. Then, she tied up her skirt, rolled up her sleeves, took the seedlings, and planted them in the field.
In the explanation of the scientific researchers on the side, the energetic Ning Xiao quickly figured out the trick of rice planting.
"Ahem!" Just as the planting was rising, she noticed that the scientific researcher next to her, who was planting rice with her, suddenly stopped, and at the same time kept coughing.
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Xiao stopped planting rice and asked the scientific researcher. "Isn't it uncomfortable? Always coughing! I've got some medicine here, so I'll give you some! ”
"Ahem!" But the scientific researcher was still coughing, and at the same time holding his eyes and motioning Ning Xiao to look behind him.
"What's going on?" Ning Xiao muttered and turned around.
A handsome man, with his back to the still bright sun, stood quietly on the edge of the field, looking at her with a faint smile. It seemed that he had watched her so much so countless years ago, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.
