Half a month after the solar storm broke out, in the conference room of the Nansha base, Major General Han presided over the daily routine report work meeting.

After seeing that everyone was seated, Major General Han asked Deacon Meng to directly report the solution to the grain, and Deacon Meng's face was very good today.

"We adopted Major Zhao's suggestion to use the corpses of zombies to make soil fertilizer, and the results were unexpectedly good, not only improving the soil composition, but also making the plants planted have a benign evolution, if the grain is planted with high yields and a bumper harvest, it will be no problem."

"Are those potatoes I brought back edible? Will it mutate the eater? "Zhao Xinghua still doesn't feel at ease, the zombie thing is full of viruses.

"No, we have tested and tried it on volunteers for two weeks without any side effects."

"Isn't the virus transmitted to humans through plants?" Zhao Xinghua asked an idiot question.

"No, viruses have certain life characteristics under specific conditions, but they can't complete any life process, they can't metabolize nutrients, can't produce energy, plant evolution is determined by multiple metabolic steps and multiple genes, so viruses will use plant genes to modify specific biochemical substances, and then genetically induce the metabolic pathways that form the biochemical substances, specifically the enzymes that catalyze the reaction steps of plant genes, the genes encoding these enzymes and their expression regulation, which play a decisive role in the entire metabolic pathway. Therefore, the inheritance of the transformation step of the enzyme can improve the evolution of plant genes, resulting in gene mutations, and this gene mutation is benign, not to change the original attributes of plants, but to develop in a better direction, just as the results of animal enhancement and evolution are the same, the ultimate evolutionary goal of plants is to be strong, high-yielding, and resistant to diseases and insects. Professor Liu, who is in charge of scientific research, explained to Zhao Xinghua.

Zhao Xinghua didn't understand a word, and the other people present were in the same situation, but everyone understood the conclusion, that is, the plant got a high yield after absorbing the fertilizer formed by the zombies.

Major General Han looked at the white and dazzling sky outside and said worriedly,

"The UV rays are so strong outside, do we need to build a greenhouse?"

"No, on the contrary, ultraviolet rays have a stimulating effect on plant growth, which can increase crop yields and promote the synthesis of proteins, sugars and acids. Irradiating seeds with ultraviolet light can improve seed germination. Short ultraviolet rays have an inhibitory effect on the growth of plants, can prevent plants from growing, and have a disinfection and sterilization effect. In addition, outdoor sunlight is the raw material for green plants to photosynthesize and make organic matter. The most obvious example is that light intensity affects the appearance of plants: plants that grow in open areas have strong light intensity and thick and short stems, while plants that grow in conditions with weak light intensity have slender stems, fewer nodes and straight stems, and grow evenly. Visible light intensity affects the development speed of plants: when the light intensity is stronger, the more organic matter accumulates by plants, the faster the development rate of plants, and the current outdoor situation is not only harmless to plant development, but can stimulate the growth of plants strong and fast. ”

This time, it was Deacon Meng, who was in charge of agricultural production, who preemptively replied that he still understood simple photosynthesis.

When Zhao Xinghua heard this, he remembered what Zhao Jie said, this series of chain reactions seemed to be arranged by someone, first the meteorite rain brought a catastrophic virus, eliminated humans and animals with contaminated physiques, and caused a large-scale zombie outbreak. Later, the solar storm broke out, destroying all the electronic equipment on the earth, completely destroying the earth's industrial system, eliminating all the sources of pollution on the earth, and then the solar storm is a fatal threat to the zombies exposed to the outdoors for a long time, and the zombie corpses provide nutrients to the plants on the earth, and at the same time the high-intensity ultraviolet rays can also promote the growth of plants, and the transformed plants will show explosive growth, and play a role in purifying the air. Two natural disasters are a perfect global purification system. Thinking of this, Zhao Xinghua felt that there seemed to be a big hand manipulating everything in the dark, correcting the evolutionary route of the earth's creatures.

After listening to everyone's introduction, Major General Han's face was full of joy, and the problem of food these days was also like a big mountain that weighed him out of breath, and now the stone in his heart finally landed.

Turning to a colonel officer, he said, "Xiao Zhang, can your personnel go out to hunt zombies recently?" ”

The colonel stood up and replied: "Report, our outing search team is still on duty these days, and found that zombies who have been exposed to the outdoors for a long time will have serious dehydration after being exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, and many zombies have died in the wild, and the zombies on the streets in the city during the day have also reduced their activities, and most of them have hidden indoors." The only regret is that there is currently no way to drive a motor vehicle, and tools that require electronic components, such as cars, are still not available. ”

"Then let's go collect the corpses of the zombies, from near to far, starting from near the base and cleaning up the periphery."

"Xiao Zhao, your special service team is responsible for cooperating with other brother troops to clean up zombies, if you encounter evolutionary zombies, you need to protect the safety of ordinary soldiers, now our population is too small, and there is a shortage of manpower in many aspects of construction and production, it turned out to be worried about the problem of food, and now this problem will be solved quickly, if you can save more people, save more." So you have to add another mission to search for as many survivors as possible and bring them back safely. The major general said to Zhao Xinghua, who was still distracted just now.

A team is cleaning up zombies along the G4W highway, and these zombies staying on the highway viaduct have no place to hide from the sun, all of them are wilted and sluggish, and they are originally walking swayingly, but now they are staggering, and their actions are even slower than before, and the team members responsible for cleaning up the zombies only need to use iron pickaxes and hoes to easily kill them. Workers in the back, wearing UV-blocking overalls, hats, and rubber gloves, stepped forward to carry the corpses of zombies onto a flatbed truck, and after it was full, someone drove a simple four-wheeled ATV over and dragged the flatbed back to the base. There were many zombies on the highway who fell to the ground on their own before the soldiers in charge of cleaning up came to their side, and the soldiers stepped forward to break their heads with axes or pickaxes, and then someone loaded them into trucks and carried them away, and the cycle continued. The simple ATV responsible for hauling back and forth is an ultra-simple version of the temporary completion before the arrival of the solar storm, using a diesel engine, no silent equipment, just the engine is installed on a welded iron frame, although the shock absorber of the motorcycle is installed, but it is still bumpy, and it can be heard several miles away, if it is not for the fact that this road is on the viaduct, it is usually not dared to drive so far.

Zhao Xinghua took Yang Hao to carry out the mission with the same team this time, a soldier in charge of reconnaissance ran back to the bridge quickly, and reported the unusual situation to the officer who led the team, and after listening to a few words, the officer took him to Zhao Xinghua and Yang Hao, who were acting as coolies to carry the corpse because they had nothing to do, and told them that when the reconnaissance soldier used a rope to speed down to a village near here, he found traces of recent human life, and there was also the scene of the destruction where the fight took place, to see the extent of damage to the building, The Scout didn't follow any further, showing more power than he could resist. Zhao Xinghua said that the little soldier did the right thing and tried to avoid danger when it was not a matter of life and death. So he asked for the direction and went to check with Yang Hao.

In front of a collapsed building, Zhao Xinghua asked Yang Hao:

"Can you knock down this kind of self-built house with your strength?"

"I'm still a human, and I'm not a Hulk, not to mention that I have a lot of strength doesn't mean I'm stupid, why am I hitting this building?" Yang Hao was very dissatisfied with Zhao Xinghua's question.

"The two of us split up in the village to look for clues, and then we came back here to meet in five minutes."

Soon Zhao Xinghua found blood stains on a path out of the village, and then returned to the place where he had just made an appointment, but saw Yang Hao constantly hitting a collapsed building with his body, and even hit a load-bearing wall downstairs with a "bang".

"Let's go, Hulk, there's blood over there."
