David didn't dwell on it for long, because there was no point in dwelling on it, and it was all just his guess until he actually encountered such a situation.

Instead of wasting time dwelling on these uncertain things, it is better to deal with the problem at hand: for example, to reclaim a field and plant potatoes.

Mark Watney has a bag of live potatoes in his hand, which is the basis for his success in carving out potato fields on Mars and growing a large number of potatoes in the plot.

At this point, the bag of live potatoes was placed in front of David and Furding.

"Isn't this a potato?"

The well-informed Ferding also knew about it, and it was a common food in the world of Azeroth.

Hearing Fordin's words, David remembered that the world of Azeroth also had a lot of 'familiar' crops, which he had really ignored earlier.

"Although the quantity is not large, it is enough to eat for a few days with venison and wolf meat."

"No, it's for planting." David immediately explained to Ferding the purpose of the bag of potatoes: "When I took Mark around just now, I was surprised to find wild potatoes growing next to the village, so Mark thought that the land here should be able to grow potatoes. ”

"Oh? If it succeeds, will there be a stable production of food? Ferding finally realized what the bag of potatoes in front of him meant.

He was clear enough about the situation in David's Winter Village—the situation was there, and it would be clear in a few sentences.

Things like the low temperature in winter can be overcome, but the problem of food is the most difficult to solve.

Without a steady supply of food, it will be difficult to establish a village and attract more people to settle here.

Once the food problem is solved, then the rest of the problems are not a problem.

If it's cold in winter, put more effort into the house, even if every family builds a fireplace, it is not impossible to burn firewood, after all, there is a forest not far away, where there is enough firewood.

At the same time, if you can open up stable fields for food production, you can also attract farmers to live here, and if you have enough farmers, you will also attract blacksmiths, stonemasons, tailors, and other professions to settle here, and gradually the village will become perfect and prosperous.

These things, Foding thought about them, and of course David thought about them, so he was very happy now.

On the contrary, Mark Watney is still lamenting that he can move between different worlds at will, as a scientist, he is curious about what causes this magical phenomenon? Even the potatoes in front of him couldn't attract him.

For Mark Watney, the problem of food was largely solved when he found out that he could come into the world; When wild potatoes were discovered, they ceased to exist.

As a good botanist, he is very confident in his judgment and does not think that his judgment will be wrong, so a large number of potatoes are waiting for him to enjoy as he pleases, but it will take some time to get them.

"It's amazing that I became not only the first human to live alone on Mars, but also the first person to set foot and confirm the existence of another world...... Well, it may also be that you have come to another planet far away from the solar system. ”

It took a long time for Mark Watney to turn his attention back to how to cultivate the fields.

"Where are you going to cultivate the potato fields?"

"Do you have any requirements?" Mark stood outside with David and Fordin, looking at the vast river in the distance: "If I could, I would like to plant here." ”

Mark chose the west side of the village, a little away from the village, but not too far. This location may have been chosen because you wanted to be as close as possible to the Winter River for easy access to water.

After a moment of careful observation, David suggested that Mark set up a potato field next to the hut, closer to them.

He also had a good reason: it was better to look after it if it was closer, because the place was not as peaceful as it seemed, and the wild beasts of the forest would not come out obediently.

"Well, you have a point." Mark approved of David's suggestion, not knowing that David had arranged it out of the safety side.

The wild potato had popped out of nowhere, and the condition of the land around the hut seemed to be different from that further away. Although David couldn't be sure if he was thinking too much, there were only so many live potatoes at the moment, and he didn't want to gamble.

Therefore, it is safest to plant next to the wooden house, and even if you want to test it, you should wait until you have enough potato reserves before considering it.

Once the place is chosen, the next step is the tedious manual labor.

Fortunately, the three people present were strong enough, even Mark Watney, who had undergone rigorous training, could not be regarded as an ordinary person, and wanted to become an astronaut had quite high physical requirements, and he had to undergo various physical training.

Coupled with a wealth of botanical knowledge, so ...... He was also a good farmer.

The three men worked hard to turn over the soil with tools, and the cold winter village, which was originally deserted and seemed to disappear at any time, appeared in the spring of the third year, and there was a hot scene.

David's heart was hot, so happy that he didn't know what it was to be tired, until Mark reminded him: "It's enough to be so big." ”

"What? That's enough? I haven't used much strength yet. David lowered his head and looked at it, he didn't seem to have cultivated much land. Is that enough?

Looking up at the side, he realized that the work efficiency of the steel man Ferding was too high, he alone was more fierce than Mark and David combined, and most of the soft land under his feet that had just been reclaimed was made by Ferdin.

Furding didn't even sweat with a shovel, and the amount of work he did not even warm up for.

The next step was to plant the potatoes, and the rest of the work only needed to be watched by Mark from time to time, and David and Fording no longer needed to help before the harvest.

"Just leave it to me, I promise I'll have endless potatoes soon."

Although he had only just planted the potatoes, David seemed to have seen a huge amount of potatoes piled up in front of him, and he even began to consider whether to wait for the first batch of potatoes to be harvested before going to Irontree Fort to recruit farmers.

is enjoying a bright future, and Laura's figure is gradually revealed not far away.

She looked terrible, covered in blood and looking very embarrassed.

Seeing her condition, David immediately released a holy light that turned Laura's entire body into a three-kilowatt light bulb.

"Don't worry, David, I'm not seriously injured, none of this blood is mine."

Hearing Laura say this, David let out a sigh: "So, all you have on you is the blood of the enemy?" How many robbers have you killed? ”

"I don't know, there are more guys on the island than there are to count." Laura seemed a little tired, not physically tired, but more mentally tired.

Since she landed on that island, what she has experienced has directly knocked out the knowledge she has accumulated over the years, many unreasonable things have happened in front of her, and unreasonable enemies have kept popping up, and Laura, who has no choice, can only face it strongly.

After two or three days in a row, she was already exhausted, and if she hadn't been able to go to David, an absolutely safe place, to rest, replenish food and water, I'm afraid she would have collapsed.

Listening to Laura tell about her own ordeal, David encouraged her, 'You can do it!' By the way, you can also help her analyze what to do next?

According to Laura's account, she had already successfully sent distress signals to the outside world, and even had planes come to rescue them.

But something strange happened, as if some mysterious force wanted to stop them from leaving, and the rescue plane crashed so bizarrely.

At the same time, the group of people who call themselves the Brotherhood of the Sun seem to want to sacrifice their good friend Sanmantha, and she is now desperate to get her friend out, and if it is delayed for a long time, something terrible may happen.

"So, I can't stay too long, I'm going to leave after a little rest."

David understands Laura's urgency, Laura does not have much respite in this generation of plots, and the few breaks in the story are better said to be exhausted and fainted.

After eating a few bites of meat, Laura wiped the stains off her face and hands, and then stood in front of David: "I'm glad I met you." ”

"Don't be so polite, it's just a gesture." David released the light again and provided shelter for Laura: "I really want to thank me for my words, and when you rescue your friend and escape from that bad place, you can always bring something good to eat." ”

"That's it!" Laura watched the golden light fade away, and she knew that this magical power was hidden in her body, protecting herself from harm—she didn't know how many times she would have died if it weren't for the protection of this magical power in countless battles.

Not only bullets and explosions, but also countless falls from great heights, all because of the protection of this force, Laura was not injured and always maintained her best condition to fight the enemy.

If she hadn't met David, she suspected that she would have died on that island, so she was very grateful to David, and at the same time, she decided in her heart that she would do her best to help David when she left the island and returned to her home.

With the Crawford family's financial resources and connections, it is not difficult to develop and build a remote village, but they don't know how to bring all kinds of materials to this world quickly.

"It would be convenient if I could drive here."

David, who didn't know that his village's infrastructure work was already willing to be contracted, was about to take his bow and arrow to the north to find some more prey.

Mark suddenly stopped Davy and ran back to Mars to get some food.

"Come and taste the food of my world, this is called sweet and sour chicken!"
