Chapter 45: Hope

On November 3, 2022, Zhang He finally recovered and participated in the research of the biological laboratory, which was an important turning point! The particularity of the wood-based powerhouse has been greatly recognized by the laboratory: Zhang He's wood-based ability can accelerate the growth of plants! In other words, with Zhang He's participation, planting is about to become popular!

In the last days, the growth cycle of ordinary plants is too long, even with the catalysis of the active factors of the end times, it still takes three months from sowing to harvesting! This is a time that most people can't afford to wait: before the end times, people had three meals a day, and in the last days, ordinary people had to eat at least one meal a day! Therefore, the first thing to solve on the side of the College of Science and Technology is the problem of food planting, since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and the scientific research institute has invested huge manpower and materials to build a large-scale biological laboratory, mainly to overcome the problem of the reproduction of mutant plants!

In the era of science and technology, people are most worried about the problem of energy, and in the last days, people are most worried about the problem of food and clothing. So the most stabilizing thing now is the planting problem! Chu Tian knew that the wood-based abilities could speed up this research, so he had been paying close attention to the wood-based abilities that had awakened in the last days!

Zhang He's wood-based ability is biased towards vitality transformation, and he can mobilize the energy in his body to promote the growth of plants! This is the reason why his body was weak before, and there was not enough vitality in his body, which was undoubtedly an act of self-destructive life! Now with the resources in the academy, not only did he quickly make up for his overdraft, but also allowed his wood-based ability to enter the second level in a short period of time.

After entering the second level, the importance of giving birth to this wood-based ability is revealed, most of the research in the laboratory is in the seedling stage, Zhang He can make a small number of seedlings quickly enter the maturity stage in an extreme time!

On November 13th, the laboratory researched a rice seed that can be stably propagated more than ten times, named "Jiangmi No. 1"! The name is not important, the important thing is that the growth cycle of this rice seed is shortened to three days in a special environment in the laboratory! This means that, under normal circumstances, it will take up to a month for this rice to go from seedling to maturity!

The appearance of "Jiangmi No. 1" quickly caused a sensation, not mainly because of the special effect of this seed, but because of the meaning: from then on, the surviving people no longer panicked about food! People who have never experienced hunger will never experience this feeling of peace of mind!

The college is also stepping up the seed distribution and innovation of "Jiangmi No. 1"! Chu Tian asked people to bring some of these seeds to the military, and began to prepare for the "Wood Tribulation"!

In the previous life, people discovered that the "wooden robbery" was in the spring of the second year. At that time, some mutant plants, especially those that were omnivorous before the end of the world, became extremely aggressive! Some plants can even create illusions! You can never imagine that a seemingly harmless plant can contain deadly murder intentions!

Nowadays, the plants on the earth are still calm, but they are growing faster, and it is not easy for Chu Tian to take some precautions that are too obvious. The geographical location of Han City is very awkward, because of its proximity to the river, most of the area is plain, and once the plants start to grow wildly, there is nothing to stop it. The general trend is that personal abilities are really limited, and the rapid growth of plants in the early stage is still a "gospel" for other organisms, and after a while, it will not be so good.

The Wood Tribulation was an important turning point for humanity. After the Wood Tribulation, the vast majority of human beings will be deeply aware that this world is no longer the world it used to be, and in the last days, no living thing can be underestimated!

If water is the source of life, plants are the river of life. Without the supply and convergence of rivers, there would be no prosperity on both sides of the river, and there would be no majesty of the sea. Plants run through the diets of almost all living beings, and most intelligent creatures feed on plants, or even rely entirely on them for sustenance. Birds and beasts, no less!

According to the latest statistics from the Personnel Department of the College of Science and Technology, the number of survivors in the city government of Hongshan District is about 4 million, and the vast majority of survivors in the three cities have basically been brought together. There are more than one million people here in Qingshan, mainly concentrated near the college of science and technology, and there are also many small survivor bases in other areas, which are of an individual nature, and the number should not exceed 1.5 million!

At this time, those who are still reluctant to join the rescue agency either have other ideas or are particularly capable people. Not all people like to get together, all creatures are like this, Chu Tian didn't have much idea about those who didn't want to be with the collective. Everyone has their own choice, and since they have chosen, they should be responsible for their own actions!

If it is said that after the Five Elements Tribulation, it is understandable to choose to start a new stove, and now joining a small group means that the crisis is increasing! This is not alarmism, there is not enough strength, it is not able to maintain the right to freedom, and that will probably bring about a crisis.

Qingshan District is an old city, and the area by the river has long been empty, leaving empty cities. The city's own processing capacity is very strong, the production capacity is almost zero, and now all it consumes is the grain reserves. Fortunately, this side is close to the river, and there are relatively many aquatic products, and the laboratory side is also a priority to solve the problem of food, so as not to let the situation get out of control!

After the popularization of "Jiangmi No. 1", the first thing many survivors had to do was to register their personal information! ID cards are still the main credentials of individuals, and one million people in Qingshan were arranged to reclaim the land, and now they can organize part of the population to participate in planting! It is not easy to reclaim land in the city, and the current population also decides who will divide the land first based on the degree of personal contribution.

It's a very helpless thing to learn to grow in the city, but people who have experienced starvation are very enthusiastic about it! The city is much safer than the countryside, and there are not too many high-level mutant beasts nearby except for the riverside. Those intelligent mutant beasts don't stay in the city for long, because they don't have much food to get except humans. Now that most of the human race has gathered, it is undoubtedly not a wise choice to attack the human race.

Within a month, the distributed seeds were able to harvest food, which greatly boosted the morale of the survivors. Due to the limited land, there was not much land that could be divided at the beginning, and the large area of land that was opened up some time ago was planted collectively, and the harvested seeds were distributed according to work! The more remote fields are distributed to some groups, and at harvest time, the logistics department will take up to 50% of the seeds!

The first batch of seeds was distributed, and it was already close to December, and it was close to the light snow in the 24th solar term. At this time of the year, half of the temperature in Han City is around 10 degrees. This year's situation is special, there is still a scene of spring everywhere, and the temperature is still more than ten degrees. The beginning of spring in the coming year is at the end of January of the solar calendar, and it is not surprising that two rounds of seeds can be harvested before the outbreak of the "wood calamity".

In the current season, many plants show no signs of withering, in fact, it is not normal. Considering that the crisis will only come next spring, Chu Tian did not directly tell the matter of the "Wood Tribulation", but told the internal personnel. The city was not greatly affected by the "wooden robbery", and even relieved a lot of food pressure in the early days.

By the time the situation in the academy was completely stabilized, it was already mid-December, and more than ten days had passed since Xiaoxue, and Chu Tian planned to go to the military region in person. If you don't participate in management, you will never know that there is not enough time, even if Chutian has been doing "hands-off shopkeeper", he is still busy and dizzy!

Half of the population of one million people in the vicinity of Aoyama are special talents escorted by the military, including a large number of students. In addition to the remaining personnel who stayed nearby for the first two months, the academy still accommodates more than 300,000 idle people, plus those who migrate here from other places from time to time, there are too many things to arrange.

Chu Tian went to the military region this time to solve three problems, one is fire support, and this is to deal with the high-level mutant beasts that may appear on the riverside. The second is the energy problem, which is actually the power problem. The third problem is that the agreement with Master Liang is about to expire.

Creatures above the fourth order are no longer afraid of the threat of guns and ammunition, and high-power weapons are only available in military regions. The monsters in the end times are endless, and the current abilities and warriors are too weak to grow, and there are no powerful weapons, so it is difficult to survive the attacks of high-level creatures.

Electricity has always been a concern for people, and there is very little electricity that can be stored directly. Now that the "earth catastrophe" has not yet come, most power plants can operate normally. A smooth start-up of the power plant will require the full cooperation of the military and the new government to ensure that the process is up and running. Hydropower is not expected, thermal power can be quickly prepared is not difficult, the college has developed a new bioenergy, can solve the heating problem of thermal power!

At the end of September, Chutian did not participate in the struggle for power in the military region, and it is certain that Division Commander Liang definitely knew some inside stories. At that time, Master Liang did not tell Chu Tian, but agreed to give him a reasonable explanation after three months! You don't have to think about it to know what the explanation is, it's about the internal transfer of the military!

In addition, Chu Tian has always been very worried about whether he can meet Zhang Ting smoothly in this life. Now that Han City has become completely different from the previous life with his participation, then after that, can you see the person you once remembered at the same time.

This time he went to the military region, and Chu Tian was still riding the military motorcycle. The energy in the car is a kind of bioenergy extracted from mutated plants, which is also a new research from the Institute of Science and Technology, which is not perfect at present, and it is still very good to use it as fuel. In modern times, oil and coal were formed by various changes in organisms in ancient times, and it is now possible to extract fuel from mutated plants, which is also a very interesting research.
