Apocalyptic natural disaster, stock up with billions of supplies to survive

It is true that salt fruits can be picked and made into salt after they are ripe, but the seeds of the salt fruits are used to make salt.

There are only two salt fruit trees on display now, so the seeds they produce must be planted first.

Therefore, if we want to make salt, we can only wait until the next batch of salt fruits are ripe.

With the added benefit of watering with nutrient solution, the plants will mature faster than those in Qingcheng.

According to current observations, these two salt fruit trees should be ripe in a week.

It will take about three months for the picked seeds to mature after being planted.

The base's current salt reserves are enough to feed everyone for more than half a year.

Gu Yuanping and Ke Qin stood by and watched Lu Yuan plant the two salt fruit trees.

The two of them just stood there and watched, not even daring to reach out and touch them, for fear of damaging the two precious salt fruits.

"It's amazing that salt can actually be grown from the soil. This end of the world is really getting more and more incomprehensible."

Gu Yuanping looked around the two salt fruit trees and observed them. He was amazed at the yellow fruits on them.

"Actually, this isn't that strange. Didn't we have beets before the end of the world? Beets can be used to make sugar, which is similar to the salted fruit."

Lu Yuan also stood aside and looked at the two salt fruit trees he had just planted.

When we were digging salt fruits, we dug up 10 in total, 8 of which were planted in the space.

"Xiao Lu, are you saying that this salt fruit still needs to be refined?"

Ke Qin understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's words, and he turned his head and asked.

"The person who sold me the salt fruit said that table salt is extracted from the seeds of the salt fruit, and another catalyst needs to be added to turn the salt fruit into table salt."

Now that the thing has been taken out, Lu Yuan has no intention of hiding the refining method.

"What about this catalyst?"

Gu Yuanping stopped looking at Yan Guo and came over.

"Don't worry, we have the catalyst on our farm. Just follow me."

As he said that, Lu Yuan led the two of them to the innermost part of the experimental field.

The innermost part of the experimental field was previously used to grow mutant seafood mushrooms, but now a kind of ice feather grass has been added.

"Isn't this what you asked me to bring to the research institute last time?"

Gu Yuanping's face was full of surprise when he saw those jelly-like things on the ground.

"We were also surprised when we found out that ice feather grass was the catalyst for salt production. Fortunately, we thought that we might be able to find its use someday, so we bred more of it."

The ice feather grass grows quite fast, so there is no need to worry about not having enough salt fruits once they grow.

After looking at the salt fruit and ice feather grass, Lu Yuan took the two base leaders to the farm office.

Han Ying was waiting for them in the office at this time.

In addition to seeing the salt fruits, the two base commanders came to the farm today, and Lu Yuan also planned to discuss salt production with them.

Although it will take more than three months for the salt fruits to mature and be used to make salt.

But some things need to be arranged.

Although salt is a small thing, the amount needed every day is also small.

But these are life-threatening supplies, and are of vital importance to any base.

Gu Yuanping and Ke Qin meant to set up a salt factory inside the farm, and after producing the salt, sell it to the base like other things on the farm.

However, the proposal of the two base commanders was rejected by Han Ying.

Just kidding, she and Lu Yuan didn't plan to stay on the farm for long. More salt factories would mean more worries, and she wouldn't find something to do for no reason!

But that certainly can't be said.

"Two base commanders, I think salt is extremely important to the base and should be considered one of the base's secrets. It is not appropriate to keep it on the farm."

"I think the base should secretly build a salt factory, and all the staff there should be people who know everything about it."

"To be honest, apart from peeling the salt seeds, the other processes in making salt are very simple and do not require many people."

That day in Qingcheng, Han Ying saw it clearly outside the Qingcheng salt factory.

Except for the seed peeling process which requires a large number of people, the other processes require very few people.

From this point of view, it is very simple to make salt secretly.

"I understand your idea."

Gu Yuanping stroked his chin, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a pity.
