Chapter 181: Growing Food
Li Jian and Lin Ying quickly filled in their personal information, of course, in some parts, both of them filled in with reservations, it should be said that they were cautious, or they should be careful.
"Okay, I'll take you inside the shed to have a look, also known as learning about the situation of this survivor base."
After seeing the two of them fill in their personal information, Li Ou took the lead in walking towards the greenhouse, Li Jian and Lin Ying glanced at each other, and quickly followed.
After the three of them entered, the soldier who had been in charge of registering personal information just now said to his companion suspiciously.
"How did Brother Ou personally take those two survivors from outside to visit the greenhouse? Isn't that common? Could it be the second generation of the army who hid his identity before? Or is it an evolutionary? ”
"I also think it's a little strange, but it is said that Brother Ou does everything meaningfully, and if he does this, the other party will react differently, maybe Brother Ou has his own plans."
The companion waved his hand to indicate that he did not understand.
In fact, Leo did have such a calculation. Through his actions, as well as observing the words and deeds of Li Jian and Lin Ying, he can deduce and analyze a lot of things from them. These were all psychological tactics before the end of the world, and as the best of them, Leo naturally used them handy.
As for Li Jian and Lin Ying, as soon as they walked into the greenhouse, they were frightened by the scene inside.
Rather than a greenhouse, Li Jian and they prefer to think that this is an indoor farm!
All sorts of crops were planned to be planted in neat rows, wheat, corn, sorghum, sugar cane, etc., crops belonging to all seasons, and now they are all together here, not so much greenhouses, or greenhouses.
There is a clear difference in the timing of these crops, for example, the wheat side is already full of heavy ears of wheat, while the corn side has not yet seen the harvest. Countless people shuttle between these crops, some controlling the masking cloth on the top, responsible for controlling the exposure to the sun; Some squat down to water and fertilize the roots of crops; some are harvesting crops that have already been harvested; Others are sowing new seeds in the reclaimed fields......
All kinds of crops, as well as people of all ages and surnames, constitute a busy but orderly scene in the greenhouse, which makes people have an indescribable sense of coordination and harmony.
"This is the first part of the greenhouse, the cultivation of crops."
Leo said leisurely.
"Can so many different kinds of crops at different times be grown here at the same time?"
Li Jian asked suspiciously.
Because different seasons, whether it is sunlight, rain, temperature, humidity, etc., there will be different changes, but crops in different seasons can be planted well with this change. Now there are crops in different seasons here, and although there is a unique design of the greenhouse and precise manpower control, Li Jian still doesn't believe that he can mess around like this. Just like now, the outside temperature is extremely low, and there is even snow, and the temperature inside this greenhouse is estimated to be below zero, so the light temperature will bring a big problem, right?
Moreover, different crops, the nutrients required are different, now look at the greenhouse in the soil are connected, and the distance between crops is not far, the root system at the bottom is easy to cross, even if the fertilization is different, but the composition of the soil is still likely to be mixed, in this way, how to ensure the success of planting?
Li Ou naturally understood what Li Jian meant, and continued to walk towards the greenhouse.
"Didn't I tell you before? Heaven uses zombies to exterminate humans, but does it also leave a glimmer of life for humans? Now that's it. ”
Li Jian and Lin Ying glanced at each other instantly, vaguely as if they understood what Li Ou meant.
Leo looked at this subtle movement of the two and said as if revealing the mystery.
"That's right, after the end of the world, not only humans can mutate into zombies, or evolvers. These crops actually have a certain degree of mutation, but they have become easier to survive in this apocalypse. ”
"For example, this."
Leo's palm suddenly touched a tall crop beside him.
"The best time to grow this crop is summer. It can only be grown under various climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and abundant rain in summer. Now, our greenhouse doesn't have the function of a greenhouse, and the temperature in it is always below freezing, but it still survives tenaciously, and the harvest is still very good. ”
"This is just one example, and this."
Leo crouched down and touched a small crop that was only the height of an adult's calf, and although it was small, it also had heavy fruit hanging on it.
"This kind of crop, the soil environment it needs is very strict, and where it is, other crops can't survive at all, which can be said to be a very domineering crop. Now, all of our crops are attached to the same soil, and they are very close to other crops, but they can survive without rejection. ”
Leo stood up, clapped his palms, and continued.
"To put it simply, the crops before the end of the world have basically undergone a certain degree of mutation in the environment of the end times. They are more adaptable to the environment, and as long as there is a certain amount of sunlight and a certain amount of rain, they can almost survive. Whether it's temperature, soil, etc., the nutrient needs of crops are getting closer to each other, so they can survive on a piece of land without rejection. At the beginning of this extreme weather, we were still worried that these crops would not be able to withstand such extreme low temperatures, but we didn't expect that all crops could withstand this low temperature, isn't it amazing? Moreover, now the growth rate of crops is much faster than before the end of the world, and the harvest is also more than before the end of the world, and now this greenhouse alone can provide the normal needs of three-fifths of the people in our entire survivor base, as long as the greenhouse is expanded in the future, then we have to be completely self-sufficient, there is no problem at all. ”
Li Jian and Lin Ying looked at the wide variety of crops around them, and their eyes were full of brilliance. If Leo is true, then there is no doubt that this is a ray of life from God! At least in this regard, Heaven has given humanity a chance to survive!
Of course, Li Jian and his family know that to do this, it is inseparable from the unique design of the greenhouse itself and the manpower here, but it has to be said that these crops can indeed be regarded as a miracle of nature.
"By the way, since the crops have mutated, will it be harmful to the human body if they are eaten?"
Lin Ying asked.
"We were also worried about this problem at the beginning, but you should know that the physique of human beings has also increased since the end of the world, and after the research and analysis of our scientists, at least during the period from the beginning of the end of the world to the present, no one has felt unwell or even experienced anything because of eating these things, you can rest assured."
The two nodded, this is okay, after all, no matter how you say it, these crops are all mutated, in case it is harmful to the human body, it is really worth the loss.
"Here, it's just one part of the greenhouse, and there are two more parts in the back, so follow me."
Leo waved his hand and motioned for the two to follow.
