Chapter 336: Grain Cultivation Success
The next day's parade officially began, and the speed of the fortress was nearly tripled, which was basically the same as the daily journey of ordinary chariots, but the fortress could travel day and night without resting and reorganization, and no zombie beasts could pose a threat to the fortress.
Zhang Zhen walked to the deck six floors away and looked at the desolate but vast territory, although most of them were almost impossible to survive, but such a vast land belonged to himself still made people feel a sense of heroism.
A sound of men and women frolicking came from the other end, and he turned his head to see that it was Jin Quan and his girlfriend, this guy slipped out of the car town and went to him, and the quality was good, so Qin Feng was accepted into the Flying Dragon Brigade.
"Big brother." Jin Quan found that Zhang Zhen was also running to say hello excitedly.
"My king." The girl came over to salute with some restraint.
Zhang Zhen nodded and smiled: "Does it feel like the outside world is very big?" ”
Jin Quan looked at the mountains in the distance excitedly and nodded: "Although they are all disaster and barren places, this is also our territory, I must go to all parts of the world to take a look." ”
Zhang Zhen also felt this way and asked, "What are your ideals?" ”
Jin Quan was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled: "Talking about ideals in the last days will be laughed at." ”
Zhang Zhen smiled: "Standing on top of the fortress, do you still doubt whether you can have ideals?" ”
Jin Quan listened and fell into deep thought, and for a long time suddenly grabbed the guardrail and stood in the wind to open his arms and roared excitedly: "Yes, I have ideals, I want to be an adventurer, I want to go to any corner of the world, visit demons and explore hope, the fortress is the light of hope in the last days, I will spread what I saw and heard here in the big brother to every corner of the last days, so that everyone knows that we still have hope!" ”
Zhang Zhen raised his eyebrows, it's true that this guy wants to take risks.
However, it is not difficult to support Jin Quan to be a ranger, he instructed Qin Feng to give Jin Quan proper training, and asked Hu Hai to help order a set of equipment for Qin Feng, so that more people know what the northern border is like and what kind of person he Zhang Zhen is.
The fortress went all the way to the cities and stopped for half a day, greeted everyone in the city, divided a batch of supplies and went down and then continued to hurry, and after a few days the fortress arrived at the Iron Forge.
Wen Tianshou saw that the fortress was actually coming, and he had already received the news that Zhang Zhen was going to tour the northern border, so he was carefully prepared to greet him.
"My king, this is the first batch of corn fruits planted a few months ago, and they are ripening these two days." Wen Tianshou offered his most sincere gift.
Zhang Zhen looked at the corn cob that had not yet yellowed and took one with his own hands, ripped off the layers of green skin to reveal golden jade grains, and his fingers were very full when he pinched them, although it looked worse than the good corn in reality, but this was already the most normal grain fruit in the last days.
"Wow, green is so cute." Shelley took the corn in his hand as if it were a fruit, and played with it happily.
The old lady touched and sniffed tears and shed tears: "It's been decades, and I finally see the crops that belong to us, Zhen'er, you are really the savior of mankind in the last days." ”
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old lady can rest assured, Lord Wenbao is studying and promoting planting technology, corn is only planted in the early stage, and wheat, rice and vegetables will be available later, and everyone will be able to eat nutritious and harmless and delicious crops." ”
"Yes, the wheat is already being cultivated, and the soil and nutrient fertilizer brought back by my king have adapted to the growth, and now the seedlings are in good condition, and the planting area is green and beautiful all his life." Wen Tianshou is busy.
"When I was young, I never had the opportunity to go to the countryside in the city, but I missed the opportunity to see the vitality of the fields, Zhen'er, can I go and see it?" The old lady said expectantly.
"I, I want to see it too." Shelley pulled Zhang Zhen's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, go to whatever you want, and Tianshou is ready." Zhang Zhen also decided to take a look, after all, growing food in the last days is a big deal.
Wen Tianshou hurriedly led the order out of the fortress first, for the healthy growth of plants, the planting area is completely isolated, people in and out must be disinfected layer by layer and wear protective clothing, too many people at once must be cautious, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted.
Soon Qin Feng sent the airship to send the old lady and her party down, and Yu Wushuang directly gnawed on the corn cob raw, feeling as delicious as eating bananas, even Shelley didn't listen to Zhang Zhen's advice to take one to eat raw, but how could she, who was used to eating fresh fruits, like raw corn.
Wen Tianshou prepared several sets of protective clothing, if it weren't for Qin Feng and the others who couldn't leave the fortress without permission, then the people in the whole fortress wanted to see with their own eyes what the crops were like.
After wearing protective clothing and going through several times of disinfection, I entered the inside, and when I arrived at the mature corn area, I saw the corn field with another disinfection test.
A green forest in the translucent greenhouse was reflected, in the last days the green can only be dark green, or dark green, basically no bright green and clean green, when everyone clearly saw the green corn forest through a window opened by Wen Tianshou, one by one exclaimed.
"Oh my God, it's beautiful."
"Can you eat that leaf?"
"It's so high, that's enough to eat several meals, right?"
Zhang Zhen looked at Shelley, a stupid girl who wanted to eat even corn stalks, and said with a smile: "Only corn cobs can be eaten, and the rest are for animals, such as sheep." ”
"Oh, I don't know if my little cow likes it or not." Yu Wushuang is actually the same as Shelley, who thinks that the entire corn plant is edible.
The old lady approached the window and looked at the corn grove and felt the unique grass fragrance of the plants, and said excitedly: "I thought I would never see it again in this life, people used to say that green represents hope, and in the last days, green is the hope of mankind." ”
"There's wheat here, and if it goes well, it will ripen in two months, and then it will be golden." Wen Tianshou was also relieved to see Zhang Zhen's satisfied expression, and he finally succeeded in growing food with Zhang Zhen's help.
"Gold represents the harvest, Shuang'er, a long time ago, human beings were planted in spring, harvested in autumn and stored in winter, and followed the laws of nature in an orderly manner throughout the year, human beings were materially barren but the earth was fertile, so human beings at that time were actually very full and easy to satisfy, when food could grow against nature, when human beings squeezed the earth with less land to get more food, disaster may have been doomed." The old lady said excitedly and full of sadness, she has witnessed the rapid development of human beings to the peak, and also experienced the struggle of human beings with nothing, and she has the most feelings about all this.
Yu Wushuang didn't care about the survival of human beings, she just treated it as an old lady's nagging, helping the old lady to walk quickly to the wheat area, she was just curious about what wheat was like.
Although Zhang Zhen didn't want to think about such a heavy thing, he still heard it in his heart, the disaster of the last days has no reason to break out now, if it is a curse, it is the old lady's statement, it is the human race that oppresses the earth too much and causes the end of the world to come.
As a human being, especially in the last days, he is even more worried about the real world, maybe he can do something.
