Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 2308 Planting Field

The warm breath rushed over, and Gene stopped the car. In front of him was a large prairie full of weeds that could not be seen at a glance. The sun shone on the prairie, and some animals could be seen from time to time.

In the distance on the grassland, some low-rise shack buildings could be seen, which seemed to be still inhabited by people. Jean and the others continued to drive along the road for a certain distance and there was no road.

They began to drive the car slowly into the grassland. Everything in front of them was unknown to Jean and the others. Sure enough, the car had just driven a certain distance, and many people came over. It seemed that there were more than ten people, one by one. The weapon in hand is an old musket, which is fine for hunting, but it is too crude for combat.

Rose directly went up to communicate with the old man in charge. The other party seemed very alert. After all, there were some scrapped cars in this place, including dried up and eaten corpses, and there were traces of firefights.

The negotiation didn't seem to be going well. Jed looked at these aborigines in the distance in a daze. Many of them seemed to have a relatively primitive life style, and their eyes were completely different from those in the city.

"They shouldn't have allowed us on this land."

Jed said, Witte smiled and shook his head.

"Not necessarily. Although they seem to be very defensive, as long as we do things seriously, they will naturally eliminate their hostility towards us."

Some low-rise bungalows can be seen in the distance, and other people are approaching one after another. It seems that no one has been here for a long time. Maybe someone came when the end happened, but more people went to the bottom two cities.

Half an hour later, the negotiations were finally over. Rose came over and made an OK gesture, and then everyone got out of the car.

Rose began to tell everyone that they could stay here, but they were absolutely not allowed to approach their huts, otherwise they would be shot. Everyone knew this, and there were still more than 40 people left. Not enough, but perfectly enough for clearing land.

Werther and Ellie directly took out some simple equipment that they had made and began to test some nearby land. Today they plan to start reclaiming the land, and the speed must be as fast as possible.

Jin and Deguna took people to use some things on the truck to build some tents for everyone to rest at night.

"Mr. Gene, how about we give the locals something and get them involved, so we can be more efficient."

Gene shook his head.

"If they can't see the results, it's impossible for them to participate. Besides, our supplies are only enough to last for two months at most, so we have to do everything possible to increase food production within these two months."

Jed nodded. It was indeed meaningless to do so. Eight tents were set up in a short while. This was designed with some steel materials when Jean and the others were in that city. It was durable and convenient. Each tent There are independent personal single rooms in the house, which can accommodate 10 people, and there is also a small living room with a good size.

Moreover, this kind of tent is heat-absorbing. After receiving sunlight during the day, it will continue to dissipate heat slowly at night, and it has good warmth retention.

Guyi took Li Chu and a few others to install some small solar panels, which are an important source of energy for their daily life. There is a huge lake in the distance, so there is no need to worry about drinking water for the time being.

Although some people suggested hunting, Jean and the others vetoed such an approach. This planet is already not far from destruction. If animals become extinct, then human beings are not far from extinction.

Moreover, animals are an important source of livestock. This place is relatively abundant in water and grass. It should be that no one has set foot on it all year round, so the natural environment is not bad. After all, it is a plain at the foot of the highest peak.

By the time of lunch, Ellie and Werther had already selected an area as an experimental planting site, where they would plant some vegetables and fruits, including some crops, which could only be improved while planting.

After eating, everyone took tools and planned to mow the grass first, then throw away the soil, and then start planting directly after watering.

As long as some crops grow quickly in the land, they can temporarily stabilize and conduct research on more crops here, so that their future can be guaranteed.

Except for the sky in this place, at a glance, the sky in the distance is a large piece of black, because it is located on the highest peak, so the dark place is probably more than 2000 kilometers away.

When they saw the black border getting closer, it was the moment of their life and death.

In one hour, with the hard work of everyone, a piece of land of more than 1 square meters was cleared out, and some weeds were also placed on one side in an orderly manner. After the weeds were dried, they were good fire materials and were burned. The final dust can also serve as nutrients for the soil.

The most critical thing is the production of ammonia, which is not difficult for Jin and the others. As long as the soil fertility is sufficient, they can continuously improve the varieties of crops and make the growth cycle of crops faster.

Although such an approach is risky and may cause uncertainty in the human body, the key now is the production of food.

Witt began to divide the land with some wooden boards, and then began to plant. The seeds of some crops were evenly placed in these divided lands, and they were all fast-growing species.

After working hard all day, the planting area has basically been done. Fortunately, the temperature here is not too low at night, but just to be on the safe side, Witte still got some plastic film to keep it warm.

The plan of Jean and the others is to reclaim such a small piece of plantation every day, and reclaim as much as possible, so that after a month or two, even if their harvest is poor, they can continue to produce food.

Ellie and Werther will continue to select some seeds, carry out genetic improvement and then plant them. What they will do tomorrow is to set up a simple genetic improvement laboratory.

At night, everyone was eating hot food and looking forward to a bright future. Jed was also very comfortable looking at everything outside the window. The night here was too quiet.

"We still need a vigil tonight."

Deguna said again that many people suggested that it should not be necessary, but Jed took the initiative to get up and planned to take up the night watch task. This kind of thing will be done every night along the way.

Tomorrow they still need to temporarily transform the truck into a water storage vehicle. After all, the truck is useless now, and everything on the cars that can be seen everywhere on the nearby roads can be disassembled and used.

Everyone slept soundly throughout the night, and early the next morning, Gene and Deguna were busy removing all the items from the truck that were used to make water purification equipment.

They plan to directly filter some impurities out when pumping water, and then build a small particle sedimentation device, so that the returned water can be treated twice, and it can be drunk directly after heating. There is no danger.

The temperature during the day was a bit hot, and many people were sweating profusely weeding and cultivating the grass, and their behavior attracted the attention of some locals. Some locals ran over, but they were tens of meters away from them, just watching .

Rose saw the timing and walked over.

"What are you doing?"

"Build an agricultural base here and survive on the land."

As Rose said, the old man in charge laughed.

"Impossible, it is difficult to grow food on this land."

Rose just smiled, and she didn't refute the old man's statement, because it is true that the altitude here is too high, and the sun will kill the crops very quickly, but it is different now, because of this disaster, the sun's radiation has actually weakened too much Yes, so the current amount of solar radiation can only promote the growth of crops, and has no threat, because so many weeds here are enough to explain everything.

This is also the reason why Rose and the others are willing to try to a higher place. The old people left with their people, and they obviously don't believe that Rose and the others can grow crops.

After a busy morning, a water pump with a filtering device was completed, and the particle adsorption device at the bottom of the truck was also completed. Jean and Deguna drove the truck directly to the lake.

"It feels like we're on our feet this time around."

Deguna happily took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Jean.

"It's almost the best time to plant some tobacco."

As Gene said, after the two of them lit their cigarettes, they all showed smiles. Thinking about it carefully, the idea at that time was really very correct. Instead of going to the other side of the sea, they came directly to this peak. A lot has happened, but what they see now is hope.

"Jin, what do you think the world's population is now?"

Deguna asked, and Gene shook his head.

"I'm not too sure, but it looks like it should be less than one-tenth of the original."

"Isn't it less than 8 million? There are still a lot, but this number will drop further and drop sharply."

Both of them knew that in those areas where the sun disappeared, the only thing humans could do was to survive desperately, and to survive, they had to compete with others for all resources, so they would inevitably fall into a situation of fighting, they It took countless hells to get here.

Soon the two drove the truck to the lake. They took some simple devices and checked the water quality. It seemed that the condition was not bad. Then they started pumping water. Not far away, some locals were standing by the water Washing things, they looked at Jean and the others with weird eyes.

"When it's almost time, remove the tires on those cars and get a water storage pipe for irrigation."

Gene nodded. This would indeed save a lot of effort. After a while, a truck full of water was pumped up. Such a truck was enough for more than 40 people to use for a week without any problem.

Soon the two turned back in the truck. They drove very slowly because the road was too bumpy, Deguna said with a smile.

"When we develop this place, it will almost die."

"maybe."

Gene glanced at Deguna, he knew it was not an illusion, Deguna seemed to be younger again, he smiled.

"What do you think the future holds here?"

"Perhaps there will be a city."

After the two drove back in the car, everyone became happy. First, they irrigated the reclaimed plantation land, and then everyone planned to take a bath. After all, no one had taken a hot bath for so many days, but the water It must be boiled for a period of time, otherwise the microorganisms and parasites in it will enter the human body.

For several days in a row, Jin and the others worked hard to cultivate. After half a month, some crops grew in the first cultivated land. They all looked good, and some vegetables also looked good. .

Everyone couldn't wait to harvest and taste these vegetables, but Werther and Ellie decided to check them first. After the inspection, there were no problems. Everyone cheered, and some local residents also came over. They looked incredulous looking at the crops growing in the land.

"It was really planted by you."

The old man said with emotion, and Rose laughed.

"Yeah, it was planted by us. As I said at the beginning, we came here to reclaim the land and survive. Why don't you join us? We can work together to build this place."

The old man said that he would call people together and discuss it when he went back. Rose took some fresh vegetables and gave them to the old man. hot pot.

For many of them, it has been a long time since they have been so rich, and everyone slept soundly that night.

In the early morning of the next day, two to three hundred people came. Many people heard that vegetables were grown here, and they were very interested. Rose explained something to them, and these local people also eliminated their hostility towards Jean and the others. Some people immediately expressed their willingness to join Gene and the others and were willing to help.

Soon at noon that day, hundreds of people were busy on the land, and everyone felt unprecedented hope. Jed taught the locals how to reclaim the land and how to put the grass and so on. .

The originally silent grassland has become lively. Many local people rely on hunting and grazing for a living, but now when they see the food situation, they immediately join in. Gene also tried his best to warn them not to Stop hunting, and don't slaughter even the livestock at home.

Because in such a place, transportation can only rely on some livestock. The locals also agree very much. Looking at everything in front of him, Jean feels that this time is an excellent start. They can take root here, and then take root. .

Because this time is a scene that Jin and the others have never seen after they have been to many places, it is full of hope.
