Chapter 106: The Rice Fruit Tree

Seeing Ye Xiaoye's strange appearance, Ling Li knew what was going on in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoDuring this time, people have fled from the small villages and towns around Sioux City to the city, and everyone who has just arrived will have such an expression on their faces.

Even the calmest person would find it incomprehensible to think that civilization had collapsed in the midst of this catastrophe, but to suddenly see it standing again on top of the ruins in another way.

"The Department of Alien Agriculture is a department that has just been established in our base, and the members in it are all researchers with special abilities, and such an organization is the only one in the whole of Sioux City!"

Ling Li said angrily: "This thing in your hand is what they planted, and it's called rice crackers." It's ugly and unpalatable. Fortunately, the growth cycle is short and the yield is relatively high, which is just in line with the current demand of Sioux City. Those people in the military simply held them up to the sky, and when you stay here for a few more days, you will understand, one by one, the eyes are higher than the nostrils, and they are dragged like two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand! ”

"Ability for farming?"

Ye Xiaoye raised her eyebrows, and a hint of appreciation rose in her heart.

Before this, he had also thought about this question, where is the real nobility of human beings compared to wild beasts?

Man has thoughts, man can use tools, and can maximize all the power at his disposal, and this is what fundamentally distinguishes man from beasts.

If you have awakened your ability and only used it to fight and kill, then there is no difference between humans and those high-level mutant beasts. The heritage accumulated by civilization over the past few thousand years has really disappeared in this catastrophe.

"Who set up this department? Are there any other departments? ”

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the person who came up with the idea of using the ability in agriculture, and at the same time wanted to learn more about whether the ability could be used in other fields besides agriculture.

"Of course it's our Xu Jingchu, Chief Xu! Thanks to her foresight, at the very beginning, she attracted many research abilities who were not strong in combat and were not valued at all, and now these people have become fragrant and sweet! As for other departments...... Yes, there is, but only the Ministry of Foreign Agriculture is the trump card of our base, and the rest of the results are very small. The military has a special industry department, which has a lot of achievements that can be obtained, and we are a cooperative relationship. ”

"After all, demand is everything! It's all about food now! ”

Ye Xiaoye nodded lightly, and had a vague general understanding of the changes in these days. He carefully studied the fruit called rice crackers in his hand, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It's as if another tech tree has been lit up, and a new civilization has been re-established on top of the ruins.

Civilization!

Although this civilization is still immature and there are still many places waiting to be perfected, Ye Xiaoye sees greater prospects and infinite vitality in it!

"So, the food crisis that could have been possible has been lifted?"

His heart moved, and he heard what Xu Jingchu had said to him before, and asked.

"How can it be so easy!"

Ling Li pursed her lips, "A large-scale famine will not happen, but there are still many people starving. Otherwise, why do you think the military issued an emergency relief order? For example, our base, as well as the army, due to cooperation, the food is a little more abundant, and some safe food will be distributed every day. However, in some places, the corpses of some mutant beasts are sent out after a little processing, and ordinary people may be in danger of their lives if they eat them! ”

"Isn't it possible to grow these plants on a large scale to solve the food crisis? Like this rice cracker, I think one is enough for an adult to eat for a day. ”

"More than that."

Ling Li shook her head, "The so-called rice crackers are actually varieties of rice. ”

She picked up a rice cracker, tugged hard, and pulled a few chopstick-like white crystal strips from it.

"Look!" She shook the white strip in her hand at Ye Xiaoye, "See?" In fact, it is elongated rice, and after boiling it with water, it is similar to rice in other aspects except that it has no taste, and even the calories are higher. As for whether there are other harms, they have not been shown anyway. ”

"Such a rice crack is to be eaten by an adult for three days. As long as you add water and boil it, you can eat it for three days, although you may be a little hungry, but there is absolutely no problem, and you can even continue to work and help build fortifications at the base. ”

"A well-grown rice fruit tree can produce about 30 to 50 rice nuts, and the ripening cycle of each round of rice nuts is only seven days."

When Ye Xiaoye heard this, his spiritual power subconsciously swept through the forest, only to see that there were at least more than two hundred rice fruit trees alone, and each one of them was growing gratifyingly. He secretly calculated in his heart and wondered: "If this is the case, then just need to promote it on a large scale to solve the current food crisis?" The rice crackers here alone are enough for your base to eat for a while, right? ”

Ling Li shook her head, "There are more than 3,000 people in the base, and they only eat rice crackers, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for even a month." ”

"It's not that we don't want to promote planting, it's just that everything has a price. A high-yielding, short-growing crop like the rice tree is extremely demanding on the land, and it must be exceptionally fertile soil. No matter what kind of land it is, after planting rice fruit trees for a month, it will completely lose all its fertility and become a lifeless wasteland. ”

"The rice fruit forest you see in front of you was created by the joint maintenance of all the earth-based abilities in our base, plus some other abilities who are biased towards agricultural talents. If you want to promote it, how is it possible? ”

Ye Xiaoye was silent, it seemed that he still thought about the problem too simply.

After all, combining abilities with agriculture is just getting started, and it's only natural that flaws exist.

However, he is not a virgin either. The issue of food is not a threat to him, so he naturally doesn't think too much about it. His gaze continued to wander behind the woods, and then to another species.

"And what is this?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a grove of trees not far away, which met the rice cracker grove. The trees were much taller than the rice fruit trees, and strangely, they were all black, looking lifeless and without the slightest hint of plant life.

"These......"

When Ling Li saw Ye Xiaoye asking about the black tree species, the disgust on her face became even heavier.

"This is called a coal tree, as the name suggests, you can try it yourself!"

She didn't know where to find a lighter, broke off a branch and threw it to Ye Xiaoye.

Ye Xiaoye took it, his hand sank, and the seemingly slender branch actually gave people a heavy feeling. He pointed the lighter at the branch and tapped it lightly.

Bang!

In an instant, a puff of flame rose from the branch, spreading quickly along the branch towards Ye Xiaoye's arm, and the temperature was extremely high.

"Huh?"

Ye Xiaoye's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands instantly turned brilliant silver, and he pressed hard towards the flame, trying to extinguish it, but the flame burned even more vigorously.

"You can't die, this thing is more ...... than oil"

Ling Li chuckled, and suddenly paused in the middle of her words, looking at Ye Xiaoye as if she had seen a ghost.

In his hands, the flame had stopped. All that was left was half a jet-black branch, and it looked as if nothing had happened.
