Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 107 Start Farming

The first ray of sunlight in the morning lightly shone on Chen Xuan's body. At this moment, he was wearing a burlap suit, leaning against the snake-tooth gun and walking slowly backwards on the two pieces of black land he had rectified.

Unexpectedly, such a mighty weapon as the Snaketooth Spear was used for plowing the ground for the first time.

Where the Snaketooth Spear passed, a long deep pit appeared.

Sweat dripped down his chin, melting into the soft soil.

If it weren't for the waves constantly churning on both sides of the fields, it would be like a leisurely idyll.

After the sail was upgraded, the power of the Kunpeng was now at the third level, and the speed had increased by a bit, and the waves driven by the ship were getting bigger and bigger.

However, this cannot hinder Chen Xuan's planting business.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

In the past few days in Dongji Mountain, he followed the old professor Li Baichuan to learn farming at the planting base every day, and he has basically mastered the methods of farming.

Because the environment in the last days is different from the past, the method of planting has also changed.

Now, the growth of plants not only depends on the soil, sunlight and water, but also requires the participation of variable energy.

In other words, this first step of reclaiming the land requires strict requirements.

The soil must be sufficiently fluffy, so that it can easily contact with the mutated energy in the air, and it is also conducive to the germination of seeds.

But if it is too fluffy, it won't work, and the seeds can't absorb nutrients from the soil well.

Fortunately, the best soil standard has been researched by Professor Li Baichuan and others.

It was just two pieces of land of 5 square meters, not very big. After the sun rose completely, Chen Xuan had already completed the reclamation of the two pieces of land.

The next step is to plant the seeds.

After wiping his sweat, he sat on the ground to rest while closing his eyes, feeling the seeds in the cabin.

There are vegetables such as potatoes and green vegetables, as well as staple foods such as chestnuts and peanuts, as well as Chinese herbal medicines such as Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng.

Although there are only more than 10 kinds in total, they basically cover all the useful plants on the East Pole Mountains.

After the end of the world, the growth cycle of all plants has been shortened a lot.

It seems that because of the mutated energy, the growth of all living things has become faster.

For example, if chestnut seeds are planted now, it will take at least five years to grow into a tree and blossom and bear fruit before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, it will only take one or two years.

However, one or two years is still too long for Chen Xuan.

He is now in a state where he may be poisoned and die soon.

Although some of the stored food bought from the organization department before was enough for him to eat for ten days and half a month, and the mutated chestnuts alone were enough for him to eat for a long time.

But he still wants to be able to eat the things he grows with his own hands, and the feeling will definitely be different.

Therefore, of course, he does not plan to cultivate plants with a long cycle time. He intends to develop some fast-growing vegetables first.

Like potatoes, cabbage, green vegetables.

The growth cycle of these plants after the end of the world is relatively short, especially cabbage, as long as it is planted, it can be harvested in three to five days. Potatoes last the longest, about 15 days, and green vegetables are in between.

However, the degree of variation of these kinds of plants is not high, and there is no obvious change except for the bigger size.

Cabbage and green vegetable seeds, he only has 5 of each, and potatoes are special, this one has no seeds, and he cuts them into even small pieces and plants them as seeds.

Chen Xuan scattered these seeds into the soil one by one, and then carefully buried them shallowly with soil, forming small soil bags.

By the time Chen Xuan planted all the seeds on the 10 square meters of land, it was almost noon.

It's time to eat.

After suspending the farming work, Chen Xuan started to prepare his lunch.

Since we now have kilns, cooking food is much more convenient.

Fill the kiln with wood and plant fibers, and after lighting it, the whole kiln turns red. When the temperature rises enough, Chen Xuan puts the processed fish in, and then closes the small iron door.

The fish is the simplest variation of herring, dotted with green onion and white minced garlic, and drizzled with a thin layer of peanut oil.

It's just a pity that the smell of peanut oil is not as fragrant as seaweed oil.

The seaweed oil that Chen Xuan currently owns is less than 2 units in total, and he may also consider making some fluorescent glue in the future. He can only use peanut oil as cooking oil now.

The smell of fish mixed with shallots and garlic slowly floats out of the kiln.

When he first ate grilled fish, he imagined this scene, but now it has finally become a reality.

Although he had eaten meals made by professional chefs on Dongji Mountain these days, he still felt that the dishes made by himself were more delicious.

While waiting for the fish to be cooked, Chen Xuan picked up another porcelain bowl and scooped up a bowl of black liquid from an iron pot next to the kiln.

Then he frowned and drank it down.

Judging from Chen Xuan's expression, it was obviously not Coke.

In fact, this is a concoction made from Polygonum multiflorum and Four-leaf Ginseng, which are unique to Dongji Mountain. These two medicinal materials themselves have a good detoxification effect.Although the effect is not very obvious to him at this moment, it can delay the onset of snake venom.

According to Professor Liu Zifeng's instructions, he now has to drink three big bowls of this concoction every day to delay the onset of the snake venom, otherwise he would not last for fifteen days at all.

After lunch, under the scorching sun, Chen Xuan continued to work.

I saw him pull out two wooden barrels, which were used to store fish oil before, and are now used by him to store water and fertilizer.

He used a homemade wooden spoon to scoop out water and fertilizers, and then poured them one by one on the small soil bags he had made before.

It is worth mentioning that the amount of water consumed by farming is really astonishing. There seems to be [-] to [-] liters of water in a wooden bucket, but in just a short while, Chen Xuan has already used up a whole bucket of water.

He had to draw some from the reserve reservoir in the house.

Looking at the off-white coral tubes in the house, Chen Xuan felt a little lucky.

If he hadn't mastered the method of filtering water with mutated coral tubes, which greatly improved the efficiency of obtaining fresh water, he really couldn't realize his plan of farming.

As for the fertilizer, Chen Xuan himself is a natural fertilizer production machine, so he can make do with it.

It took another half a day before Chen Xuan finished watering and fertilizing.

Now it's just a matter of watering regularly and waiting for the seeds to take root and germinate.

Although the seeds had just fallen, looking at the small soil bags at this moment, Chen Xuan already felt the joy of sowing, which was the expectation for the harvest.

Then, Chen Xuan looked around the sea again.

Although he has been farming, he has always kept observation of the wind direction around him to ensure that the general direction is correct and there is no abnormality in the environment.

Fortunately, in the past two days, the sea has been calm and nothing happened.

Although Chen Xuan saw one or two sea beast battles during this period, with the telescope, he could always see the situation in advance and directly change the navigation route.

Having experienced it once, he will no longer stop and watch as before.

As long as there is potential danger, he will stay away.

Not long after, the sun slowly set.

Gradually, a touch of green appeared on the sea in front of Chen Xuan's vision, and then slowly revealed the whole picture.

It looked as if a huge green blanket was floating on the sea.

This scene made Chen Xuan vigilant.
