Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 66 Plants in East Pole Mountains

Watching Xu Feng go away, Zhang Hai spoke with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Brother Chen, you are a bit stingy, why are you so unwilling to impart a little experience to everyone?"

"Is it because you are afraid that if you teach the apprentice, the master will starve to death?"

Facing Zhang Hai's dissatisfaction, Chen Xuan was a little dumbfounded.

He is really hard to explain.

Seeing that the current situation was a bit stiff, in order to ease the atmosphere, Chen Xuan changed the subject:
"Zhang Hai, what kind of person is this Xu Feng?"

Although he was a little unhappy before, when Xu Feng was mentioned, Zhang Hai talked more.

"Brother Xu is an amazing person."

"I heard that Brother Xu, as a firefighter, had already participated in many rescue operations and saved many people. He even made news because he sacrificed his life to save a girl who committed suicide.

And after the doomsday happened, he helped everyone even more. "

"Also don't look at Brother Xu who has contributed a lot, but still lives in an ordinary shack like us.

The people in the camp were actually very chaotic at the beginning, not very well organized, that is, because of the presence of Big Brother Xu, everyone gradually came together, and we all admired him. "

"Although the Armed Forces Department is very dangerous, there are still many people who joined it because they worship Brother Xu."

"If it wasn't for the lack of fishing manpower, I would have gone there too."

Zhang Hai was eloquent.

Hearing Xu Feng's deeds, Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart, and he became a little more curious about him.

"Does this Xu Feng have any family?"

"Brother Xu hasn't married yet, and I haven't heard him mention his parents, but I heard that there seems to be a younger sister who is studying in college in Beifeng City."

Zhang Hai thought for a while and replied.

"Beifeng City? Isn't that on the Beifeng Plateau?"

"That's right, so Brother Xu's sister should be fine now. If I have a chance in the future, maybe I can go after Brother Xu's sister, so that Brother Xu will be my brother-in-law, hehe."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hai's previous displeasure has long since dissipated, replaced by a glimmer of longing.

Seeing that Zhang Hai was addicted to fantasy and couldn't extricate himself, Chen Xuan shook his head.

Then he reached out and patted Zhang Hai's shoulder, ruthlessly pulling him back to reality.

However, according to what Zhang Hai said, this Xu Feng is indeed a very good person, and the establishment of the Survivor Organization mainly depends on his personal charm.

In ancient times, he could definitely be regarded as a chivalrous man with a humble heart.

This made Chen Xuan at this moment start to wonder if he had gone too far just now.

Although archery is really helpless in this regard, find opportunities to provide some help in other areas.

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

After all, there are always some people who are full of light, and you can't bear to let them down.

Then, Chen Xuan asked Zhang Hai to continue taking him to the planting base.

At this moment, it was almost dusk.

Walking on the path between the mountains, feeling the wind blowing in the mountains, and looking at the mountains, there is still smoke in the distance. It really feels like a picture scroll.

Chen Xuan missed the long-lost scene of harmony and peace.

Compared with the dangerous and difficult sea, this place is like a paradise.

Along the winding mountain road, Chen Xuan finally came to the planting base.

You can see a lot of lush fruit trees here, the scale is not small, it looks like someone planted here before.

There was also a part that looked like it had been recently transplanted, and the soil had been turned over.

There are also some hard-working people who take care of the plants, the most prominent of which is an old man with gray temples, who is still in charge of the work.

"That is Professor Li Baichuan."

Zhang Hai introduced a sentence in a timely manner.

Looking at Professor Li who looked like a farmer, Chen Xuan really couldn't connect him with the gentle-looking and neatly dressed professors in university classrooms.

"Professor Li looks very old, why is he still working here?"

"No, Professor Li is almost 80 years old this year. Before the apocalypse, he often went to the front line to conduct research on crop hybridization technology. After the apocalypse happened, he hardly took a break."

Obviously, this is also a man worthy of admiration.

Originally, Chen Xuan just wanted to see the crops in Dongji Mountain and look for opportunities to get some seeds, but he didn't expect that he could directly meet the old professor who was engaged in related scientific research.

Then it happened that I could learn something about Dongji Mountain and the specific situation of the end of the world with this professor by the way.

These research leaders should have a deeper understanding of the end of the world.

Chen Xuan stepped forward, and softly shouted at the old man who was working hard in the field:
"Professor Li, hello, I'm Chen Xuan, I have something to ask you."

When he heard someone calling him, Professor Li, who had been facing Huangtu, raised his head slightly. Following the voice, with a hint of doubt, his eyes finally fixed on Chen Xuan:
"Boy, what's the matter with you?"

Although the voice is old, it is very powerful, not like an old man at all.

"It's like this. I'm a survivor who just arrived at the East Pole Mountain. I drifted along the way and saw some novel plants. I would like your advice."

Chen Xuan planned to attract the old professor's attention first, so as to facilitate the subsequent conversation.

"A novel plant?"

Sure enough, Chen Xuan's words immediately aroused the old professor's curiosity.

For a scientific researcher, novelty always has a huge lethality.

He stopped what he was doing and walked quickly to Chen Xuan.

"Young man, tell me in detail, what kind of plant is it?"

"There is a giant plant that looks like seaweed. It looks like a huge feather duster and can reach a length of more than 400 meters. At the same time, it will fluoresce at night."

Chen Xuan described the characteristics of the fluorescent seaweed, and wanted to see if the old professor had any comments.

"Um……"

The old professor pondered for a moment, then said:

"Young man, although two types of algae have been found near Dongji Mountain, no one seems to have seen the type of algae you mentioned.

And from your description, this seems to be a mutated plant. This kind of seaweed should have a lot of uses. Do you have a sample? "

Naturally, Chen Xuan didn't have it, and he couldn't restore the bioplastics in the space.

There is no further progress on fluorescent seaweed.

Hearing that Chen Xuan said that he had no samples, the old professor was slightly disappointed.

Chen Xuan continued to speak.

"Professor Li, I personally like botany. I would like to ask you about the changes in the current plant ecology on the East Pole Mountains compared to before the end of the world?"

"Most of the people in the camp don't care about this very much. Unexpectedly, young man, you are also very interested in this?"

The old professor smiled slightly, and then began to speak patiently.

"Before the disaster, the resources on Dongji Mountain were very rich. There were 1598 species of plants on the entire mountain, including 814 species of wild plants, 322 species of cultivated crops and 462 species of medicinal plants. .”

But now considering that part of the East Pole Mountain has been submerged, the plant species may have dropped by at least half.

So far, we have discovered 36 mutant plants. "

36 kinds, so many?
Chen Xuan was speechless secretly.

I just don't know how much of it is useful.

Then he made one last request.

"Personally, I am also interested in planting. I would like to ask if I can get some seeds and try to plant them."
