Survival on Mars Live

Chapter 10 Potato Planting Essentials

"Record, sixth Martian day!"

"It's morning now, Mars time has just arrived in the afternoon, the host has finished his daily work, cleaning the dust on the photovoltaic panels, the equipment is running normally, and everything is OK!"

"According to observations, the weather for the next day is not bad. In the next 24 hours, the wind will basically remain at level 2-3 breeze. A sandstorm is forming [-] kilometers away, with an estimated intensity of level [-]. Fortunately, the base is not on the route. Among them, it is very safe here!"

"Our next task is to dig out the cesspit!"

[Barrage: Please pay attention to your wording, you pay, not us! 】

[Barrage: Is the cesspit serious? 】

[Barrage: I don’t know about Mars, no, are there any excrement bugs in the cesspit in the Gobi Desert? 】

[Barrage: A tasteful live broadcast! 】

……

Putting on the space suit, Chen Mulin walked out of the base and walked around to the back of the base bathroom. There was an object with a biohazard mark there, which was the place where excrement was stored.

When the cover was opened, the real content inside was revealed in the live broadcast room. It was not the cesspit as imagined. It looked like a storage grid, very neat and clean, and the feces were all vacuum-packed.

Chen Mulin smiled sinisterly: "Aren't you very disappointed, isn't it the imaginary cesspit?"

"Of course, this is Mars, not Earth. Feces are not allowed to be directly exposed on the surface of Mars. These are vacuum-packed. If the food inside is food, the shelf life is guaranteed for ten years!"

[Barrage: It can still be used after washing! 】

[Barrage: Shit with a ten-year shelf life, take it apart, wrap it in bread crumbs, and fry it until golden, the Martians next door are all crying! 】

[Barrage: Don’t tell me, maybe Martians are just like this? 】

[Barrage: This item has full marks and is recommended to be used nationwide! 】

[Barrage: The third brother is almost envious! 】

……

Chen Mulin started to take out the packaged excrement and put it into the box he brought, and said: "Because I didn't stay in Mars for a long time, and I counted the full pack and the one month without live broadcast, so the number is not many, but it should be enough. Nutrients needed to grow potatoes."

"In the next time, if potato planting is successful, the scale of planting may be expanded, which will require more organic fertilizers. It's time to think about what to do in the future!"

[Barrage: The anchor actually lived in the Gobi Desert for a month without telling us! 】

[Barrage: The truth is out, the first step towards Mars! 】

[Barrage: The anchor needs more shit, do you need help?As long as you need it, the brothers can fill up the cesspit in minutes! 】

[Barrage: 666... ​​The amount of shit is amazing! 】

……

Back in the base, Chen Mulin didn't take off his space suit, but just clumsily brought an iron bucket, cut open the vacuum bag and poured the excrement inside.

"Brothers, this is all essence!"

"As you can see, they are all dehydrated. If I don't wear a spacesuit, I can imagine the smell now. It can be said that I can feel it through the spacesuit!"

[Barrage: The anchor ate a catty! 】

[Bullet screen: Partition screen series! 】

After pouring all the excrement into the bucket, Chen Mulin added an appropriate amount of water and stirred it into a paste with a small shovel, the kind that can be drawn, and he did not forget to show it to the water friends.

"Imagine this is batter, the anchor's handiwork is absolutely amazing!"

"The essentials of planting potatoes, dig out the cesspit first, then stir up the shit! Remember, if you are lucky enough to come to Mars in the future, maybe these experiences will be useful to you!"

When everything was ready, Chen Mulin put the potatoes on the table and began to cut them into pieces one by one.

"Planting potatoes by cutting them into pieces can help them germinate early. Each piece should be about 20-30 grams. Remember to choose the buds with intact eyes, otherwise they will rot in the ground before they germinate. Don't cut them into too small pieces, otherwise It will cause a lack of nutrients, and it will also rot in the ground."

After a while, Chen Mulin had cut all the potatoes into pieces, picked up the iron bucket of Zhuang organic fertilizer and potatoes, and started sowing seeds.

The soil was brought in from the outside, and it was already very loose, so it was very easy to sow. He first used a shovel to shovel out a series of ditches, and placed the potatoes in advance at an interval of [-] centimeters, and then added fertilizer one by one, and began to fill the soil and water.

Relatively speaking, potato planting is relatively simple, and the survival rate is very high, without much planting experience.

As for the technique of cutting into pieces, it is also very simple, just find the bud eye. If you really can’t, then you can do it simply and rudely, and just bury the whole potato in the ground. Only slower to germinate than the treated ones.

In addition, the rough way of planting the whole potato in the soil also has great disadvantages, because a potato has more than one bud eye, which will cause multiple germination and multiple flowering, which is likely to cause malnutrition, and the potatoes grow slowly and are small in size. , the yield becomes lower.

After a series of operations, the time has gradually come to noon.

In order to reward himself for working hard all morning, Chen Mulin decided not to eat instant noodles for lunch, but to have something good.

"Brothers, guess what the host is having for lunch today?"

When he came to the food storage room, Chen Mulin went straight in one direction, so it was tricky.

[Barrage: Eat shit! 】

[Bullet screen: You've already eaten a catty, aren't you full yet? 】

[Barrage: Could it be the old bacon on the beams of my house? 】

[Barrage: I'm looking forward to it, it won't be a full banquet, right? 】

Chen Mulin looked at the barrage and laughed: "Don't be ridiculous, can the anchor afford the Manchu Banquet?"

[Barrage: The spaceship is blown up, isn't it bold enough? 】

Chen Mulin replied: "There is no need to pay for that!"

[Barrage: Isn't the background strong enough? 】

Chen Mulin replied: "The background is a supercomputer, virtual intelligence, can't sleep with you, can't play!"

After a while of rummaging through the box, Chen Mulin took out a red package and shook it in his hand: "Don't guess, it's a bag of hot pot ingredients. I just discovered it last night. It's a whole box. It's a blessing!"

[Barrage: Having said all that, do you have any ingredients for hot pot? 】

Chen Mulin shook his head: "Don't think about hot pot ingredients, but there are quite a few dehydrated vegetables, and those meats can still be washed and remade in the pot!"

I'm excited to think about it, I don't know what the taste of Kung Pao chicken is when it's washed in hot pot, I haven't tried it before!
However, those dehydrated vegetables, as long as they are slightly soaked in water, are not much different from ordinary vegetables, and the taste is still there.

Chen Mulin is very proud, it seems that he is the first person to eat hot pot on Mars!

Destined to go down in history!
After preparing everything, Chen Mulin didn't forget the remaining potatoes and cucumbers, so he sliced ​​them into slices. These were the only fresh ingredients, and he couldn't wait to have a bite.

"Brothers, the first hot pot meal on Mars!"

"What are you waiting for? Take the plane and rocket!"
