Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

The less severely damaged seedlings were transplanted into new seedling trays, and the remaining severely damaged seedlings were moved to the space in the future.

After working for three or four hours, four people were able to transplant more than 2,000 plates. Several people have been working continuously for sixteen or seventeen hours, and they are really exhausted.

After stopping what he was doing, Xu Ge called technicians Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei to the rest room to rest.

Send contaminated matrix to Chiqu. When I came back, I took out a watermelon and several bottles of ice Coke from the space.

Xiao Wei: "Wow, boss lady, did you get it from the official? This watermelon is a rare thing nowadays!"

Xiao Wei saw Xiang Chi carrying a watermelon into the shed, quickly went over to take it, and asked happily.

Xiang Chi followed his words, nodded, and answered with a smile.

Xiang Chi: "I have to work hard for you and Xiao Shao today. Let me buy you two a watermelon as a reward..."

Xiao Shao: "Wow! Thank you, boss lady! Boss lady, you are so kind!"

It's no wonder Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei are making such a fuss. Actually, watermelon is considered a precious fruit nowadays.

Although watermelons are also produced locally in Dancheng, the output is very small, and they are mostly grown on hillside areas. There are almost no watermelons grown in greenhouses.

After the high temperature hit, the watermelons on the market have long since disappeared. And since prices have skyrocketed, a watermelon has reached a sky-high price of 1000 yuan.

I occasionally see it once or twice when shopping online, but it is sold out in less than a second.

In the past, when watermelon was free, I didn't think anything of it. Now that I can't eat it, I miss it very much.

Especially in hot weather, it is really refreshing to take a bite of ice-cold watermelon. Not to mention ice coke!

Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei were happily eating watermelon and drinking coke. He became even more determined to follow Xu Ge and Xiang Chi and work hard.

In the current environment, it is extremely rare to have a job that is not too tiring, not to mention that neither Xu Ge nor Xiang Chi are stingy people.

There are sky-high prices for food outside that need to be snatched up, but here, Xu Ge gives them some welfare food every ten days and a half.

They never have to worry about not having vegetables. There are also working meals for meals and other things.

Xiang Chi filled up the refrigerator in the lounge every now and then, and Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei could just make whatever they wanted.

Since the family does not have to worry about their food and drink problems, they can spend more money on buying staple food and save a lot of money.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi have always been generous to their own people. Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei reassured Xu Ge in terms of their character and greenhouse management.

The high temperature has had a huge impact on the economy, and shortages of various materials have led to crazy price increases. Restrictions on the purchase of supplies have aggravated this phenomenon.

Especially the new purchase restriction order issued in the past few days has spawned the creation of some private trading venues, and bartering has begun. Food has even been traded as currency.

There hasn't been a drop of rain for five months, and the surface rivers around Dan City have dried up. Groundwater levels are also decreasing day by day.

There is a well in the easternmost part of Hexi Village. It is said to be more than 20 meters deep, and the water level has already dropped.

For the sake of sustainable development, the official announced a new purchase restriction policy.

It turns out that each person is limited to purchasing three kilograms of staple food, two kilograms of vegetables, and ten eggs per day.

Now it has become a limit to purchase three kilograms of staple food and two kilograms of vegetables per person every three days.

The upgrade of the purchase restriction order did not cause any waves, because more than half of the citizens already have no savings to buy.

Large-scale shutdowns have caused a shutdown of society. More and more people are choosing to build shelters. Even if they don't have any skills, they can choose to do hard work such as laborers or porters.

Just because the government can provide food and drinks, as for the daily salary of fifty yuan, it is a little better than nothing. With current prices, fifty yuan can't even buy one or two rice!

Then came the update of the power rationing policy. It used to be that you could purchase electricity during the power rationing period, but now you can’t. No matter who it is, they will no longer support purchasing electricity with cash.

After ten o'clock in the evening, either use solar energy, or if there is no solar energy, then you can only hold on.

Because Xiang Chi's house has solar energy, the night time is not too difficult.

After struggling for two days, I finally replanted the vegetable seedlings in my greenhouse. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I was shocked to hear another bad news.

Most of the farmland around Dancheng was destroyed by armyworms overnight!

No one can explain why so many armyworms appeared in just one night.

The sudden outbreak of those armyworms was unexpected. By the time they were discovered, the armyworms were already eating immature crops.

The crops grown in Dancheng are mainly corn, sorghum, and wheat, which happen to be the crops that armyworms like to eat most.

Standing at the edge of the field, you can even hear the sound of insects eating the leaves of crops.

After the villagers discovered the armyworm, they started spraying pesticides as soon as possible. But what is disappointing is that the armyworm has also become highly resistant to pesticides!

Spraying the medicine once has no effect on the armyworms. Increasing the concentration and dosage of the medicine will only reduce the activity of the armyworms a little, but it will not kill them directly.

The only way is to use the most primitive method, manual pest control. What's even more unfortunate is that the relevant pesticides stored in Dancheng are about to be exhausted.

Director Liao, no, I should say Chairman Liao, who had just been promoted to the top position of the Agricultural Committee, began to lose his hair again due to anxiety.

Although the farmland in the Xiangchi space can accelerate the growth of plants, it has little resistance to pests and diseases.

Therefore, in order to prevent pests and diseases, Xiang Chi stocked up a large amount of pesticides targeting different pests.

Looking at the large areas of damaged farmland and the old farmers crying because they were worried about their food, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi couldn't remain indifferent.

Although citizens in various cities do not travel as frequently as before, there are still some people with capital who form various fleets to transport materials abundant in this city to other cities for resale.

They found Director Liao and donated one hundred tons of pesticides on the pretext of knowing a powerful convoy.

On this day, Xiang Chi moved the pesticides in the space to the warehouse. After a while, Xu Ge came over with Director Liao.

When Director Liao saw a warehouse full of pesticides, his eyes instantly turned red. He held Xu Ge's hand tightly.

"Xiao Xu, I thank you on behalf of the people! I also thank you on behalf of the government! This batch of pesticides really solves the current urgent need! You have saved the people of the city."

Xu Ge: "President Liao, you are serious. What I have done is insignificant."

President Liao calmed down his excitement, patted Xu Ge on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"The government will not take advantage of you. The government will provide you with supplies to replace these pesticides. If you need anything, just ask. Within a certain range, I can make the decision!"

It was his words that Xu Ge was waiting for.
