Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 82 Effects of Mutated Plants

Chen Xuan was also slightly stunned by Professor Li Baichuan's words.

How to plant these seeds?
He hadn't really thought about this in detail. After all, he had never been a farmer and had only farmed in the game.

Bury it in the soil, then water and fertilize, and wait for the harvest.

But in reality, it is definitely not so simple to operate.

Originally, he just wanted to use the soil he collected to open up a piece of land first, and then try various things. Anyway, even if he failed, there would be no loss.

Looking at Chen Xuan's reaction, Professor Li Baichuan already understood that the young man in front of him must be a layman who had never been able to carry a hoe.

I saw a trace of displeasure on his face.

"Young people, farming is not that simple, it is also a science."

"Do you know how often you need to water? And how much should you water at a time?"

"Do you know how deep the seeds should be buried?"

"Do you know what to do with a pest infestation?"

"And after the disaster, the environment has changed. Although the soil has not been affected by the mutated energy, there has been no change. But the microbial environment in the soil, including the plants themselves, has changed."

"Even if an experienced farmer grows them according to the method before the end of the world, he may not be successful, let alone I don't think you seem to have experience in this area."

"The food resources of the people in the camp are not very abundant now."

"These seeds can't be wasted just because of your ignorance."

For an old professor who has studied food all his life, the most unbearable thing is this kind of wasteful behavior.

After listening to Professor Li's words, Chen Xuan's face felt slightly hot at this moment.

He was indeed a bit sloppy in this matter.

Because the previous idea of ​​self-sufficiency was too good, he couldn't wait to start the planting business, but he ignored the barriers of this industry itself.

And there is also the impact of mutated energy.

For the first time, Chen Xuan appeared a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Professor Li, I didn't think carefully about this matter, and I'm really not very good at farming."

"Can you teach me, please?"

He asked cautiously.

"It's still a child can teach."

Seeing Chen Xuan's realization, Professor Li's expression finally calmed down.

The old professor didn't intend to embarrass others, he just wanted Chen Xuan to pay attention to these seeds that he regarded as precious.

"Farming is not something that can be explained in a few words. The best way is to carry hoes with everyone at the planting base every day."

Professor Li Lao gave a very simple answer.

But it is correct.

There is no shortcut, and he still knows the truth of practicing true knowledge.

Chen Xuan nodded immediately, saying that he would go to the planting base to report and study in the future.

In this regard, the old professor finally showed a satisfied expression on his face.

At this point, Chen Xuan's trip to the scientific research department has come to an end for the time being.

After bidding farewell to the old professor and Li Shuo, Chen Xuan went down the mountain by himself, but he still brought the seeds back. After all, he bought them with contribution points.

But he has no plans to plant for the time being. As Professor Li Baichuan said, he still needs to learn more about farming.

In the next few days, Chen Xuan was very busy.

Every morning, he would first go to Xu Feng to deliver the task of producing weapons, and then go to the planting base to learn the knowledge of planting. He would carry the hoe with everyone, facing the loess and back to the sky, and take care of the crops in the camp.

During this process, Chen Xuan gradually accumulated relevant experience, and at the same time learned specific information about these plants in Dongji Mountain.

Dongji Mountain was originally most famous for chestnuts, Polygonum multiflorum, four-leaf ginseng, and some tea.

After the end of the world, because these plants were planted on a relatively large scale, they were the first to discover mutations among them.

The chestnut became bigger and grew faster, but its shell also became darker and stronger. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a piece of pitch-black coal.

Chen Xuan also used the newly harvested contribution points to buy some and tasted them. The taste was very sweet, but the energy contained in them was still inferior to the mutated fish.

But it tastes quite filling, and I feel like three or five chestnuts are enough for a meal.

It was only at this time that he realized that the survivors of Dongji Mountain mainly relied on mutated chestnuts to solve the food problem, and the fish and wild animal meat that Chen Xuan thought were important before were actually just a little extra, mainly For strengthening the body.

The four-leaf ginseng and fleece-flower root were originally used as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. After mutation, the medicinal properties contained in them became more intense, but the mutation energy contained was another matter, and it was still not very rich.

The most prominent function of these two is detoxification, and they are used to treat some hunters who were accidentally poisoned during hunting. Since there happens to be no one familiar with traditional Chinese medicine in the camp, other functions are still being slowly developed.

The last tea leaves have some soothing effects. I have to mention that one of the tea leaves is named Baihuan Tea. After mutation, the color becomes greener. After being eaten, it can actually make people fall into coma.

Some of these were bought by Chen Xuan, he thought they could be used in the future.

There are also some fruits, but they only play a role in adjusting the taste, and the effect of promoting variation is minimal.

In the afternoon, Chen Xuan would go to explore underwater, continue to collect all kinds of seaweed, and try to find the suspected gel material.

By the way, he also collected some species resources that he had been looking at in the scientific research department before, such as coral tubes. These creatures look like rocks and are so huge that they can accommodate one person to walk through. Some even grow to the surface of the sea, but It is very helpful for filtering water.

In addition, he is constantly detecting the location of the mysterious underwater source. It seems that the closer to the cliff, the greater the attraction he feels.

At night, he would go out to sea, play with Shuibao, and collect some materials and resources to prepare for the next upgrade of the "Kunpeng".

Although it is not convenient to upgrade in the camp at this time, he does not plan to upgrade other parts for the time being, because the most important condition for the "Kunpeng" to advance again, the second-level [black technology module] has not yet progressed.

The only clue was the mysterious sea beast from before, but he couldn't find it at all.

Occasionally, he would go to the scientific research department to see Professor Zhang Yongqing's research on bioplastics, hoping to find a way to make them shine as soon as possible.

However, the mutated giant python that endangered the camp before has not sent any relevant information, and disappeared as if it had suddenly evaporated.

On this day, Chen Xuan dived along a huge coral tube protruding from the sea, and collected some strange-looking seaweeds.

Chen Xuan set it on fire as usual.

But this time during the burning process, a new wave of energy gradually appeared in his perception.
