After the disaster

For the first time, Qiu Cheng used a hydrogen balloon to give five "jiebaidu" pieces, and the second time he gave out eight pieces through the hands of others, making a total of [-] pieces. With these [-] "jiebaidu" pieces, as Basically enough for research purposes.

Relevant personnel got the samples and immediately put into the research work, but soon, they found that even with the "silver line of life", they still could not easily develop the corresponding drugs.

Because the composition and structure of this elixir is really strange, no one has seen this kind of thing before, and they don’t know how to make it. In-depth analysis and research on the ingredients, in this way, must consume a lot of time and energy.

In addition to the researchers from our own country, researchers from other countries have returned to China one after another these days. After all, the research sites and equipment in Huaguo are limited, which is not enough for so many researchers to throw off their arms and do a big job. It is better to return to China. After returning , Whether it is manpower or material resources, can get great support.

At the same time, a middle-aged man named Yu Hongzhu was also recognized by this world, and everyone knew that the "line of life" was their family's ancestral treasure.

"Mr. Yu, I heard that your ancestors had a celestial master?" In a live talk show, the host asked Yu Hongzhu with a smile on his face.

"I just heard about it." Yu Hongzhu sat calmly, with a bit of sophistication in his simplicity: "The age is too long, and many things have not been handed down. My grandfather and my father have tried their best to find the ancients Traces, by my generation, have largely been abandoned."

"Then did your grandfather or father find this 'line of life'?" the host asked again.

"No, they searched for it all their lives, but basically found nothing. This 'silver line of life' is something left by the ancestors to save our lives for future generations." Yu Hongzhu said.

"That is passed down from generation to generation?" the host asked.

"Yes." Yu Hongzhu replied.

"Then, Mr. Yu, what did you think when you took out this 'line of hope'?" the host asked again.

"The past few years have been difficult for everyone. In the spring of this year, it was very easy to come out of the temporary base. Everyone felt that this day had a bright future, and everyone was motivated. They wanted to live a good life as soon as possible and return to the base. That kind of life in the past happened to happen at this moment, and I really... well, I just took it out because of my brain, I hope the descendants of the Yu family don't blame me." Yu Hongzhu said Here, he took a deep breath.

"Mr. Yu, Gao Yi!"

The host gave a thumbs-up and took the lead in applauding. The audience below the stage also applauded enthusiastically, and some people shouted excitedly: "Mr. Yu Gaoyi!" The audience can hear it too.

"Some netizens on the Internet questioned, since this 'line of life' is so effective, why didn't you take it out when the X virus broke out? If the researchers at that time were studying the 'line of life', maybe the Disasters don't last as long as five years."

After asking the question, the host explained: "This is just a doubt in the hearts of some netizens. I hope Mr. Yu doesn't mind. This time, you can take out the 'silver line of life' inherited from the Yu family and let us find a silver lining. Your selfless actions are greatly respected and appreciated."

"It's okay." Yu Hongzhu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Our ancestral inheritance is a 'line of life', not a 'cure for all diseases', this elixir is useless to the X virus, or else my son wouldn't have... ..."

Having said that, Yu Hongzhu remained silent.

At this time the host spoke: "Mr. Yu once had a son named... five years ago..."

……

"Let's go to work." Qiu Cheng turned off the TV, drank the last sip of peanut soup, and stood up from the sofa.

"Woo!" Ah Chang yawned and stood up. This kid was overly excited last night and didn't sleep well all night. Now he's feeling sleepy.

Qiu Cheng pretended he didn't see it, and didn't ask him to squint for a while, and climbed the rope up to the fifteenth floor by himself.He slept too much during the day and didn't feel sleepy at night, and then he would feel uneasy again. With his making such a fuss, Qiu Cheng wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.

On the fifteenth floor, Qiu Chengcheng began to pull out the mature soybeans in 1506. After the last crop of potatoes was harvested, they immediately planted soybeans in the houses of 1502, 1503, 1504, and 1506. Now these soybeans are also grown. I can accept it.

Pulled out all the mature soybeans in these houses and hung them on the wooden racks on the top floor to dry. Qiu Cheng then took Ah Chang to start the renovation work in 1506. He wanted to transform 1506 into a rice field. When a crop of rice is harvested, it will be sown together at that time.

1506 is directly above 1406. If rice is planted in 1506, the lower 1406 will be cooler than before. With the air conditioner turned on every day, it will naturally save energy and electricity.

Moreover, the lighting and ventilation of 1506 are very good, and the price of rice is so high, it is a pity that this house is not used to grow rice.

After building a low wall with bricks at the door and other places, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang moved to the bathroom and built brick columns inside.

When Qiu Cheng was feeding the earthworms in the bathroom of 1505 these days, he found that some earthworms had begun to mate and lay eggs, and there were some more earthworm eggs in the bucket that looked slightly bigger than sesame seeds. It would probably not be long before they could hatch. There are many small earthworms.

After finishing these tasks, he tidied up a little and used the remaining bricks. Qiu Cheng took Ah Chang to 1510 to bring some dry straw out, crushed it with a hay cutter, then packed it in a sack and put it away. Soak it in a large water tank, and press a large kettle full of water on it to prevent the sack from floating up.

This method is also recently learned by Qiu Cheng from the Internet. After soaking the broken grass in water for a certain period of time, and then drying it for a while, it can be used to raise earthworms, which saves them from having to go outside to collect rot. Ye Tu's trouble.

A few days ago, Qiu Cheng used worm tea mixed with water to irrigate the crops every day. It seemed to be quite effective, but the amount was a little less, but it didn’t matter. Come in handy.

After soaking the shredded grass that had been chopped up that day, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang walked to another water tank next to them, and together they lifted out a bulging sack from inside. Qiu Cheng picked up two broomsticks from the wall with quick eyesight and hands , put the big bag that was leaking down on the water tank.

At this time, Ah Chang ran to the next room and brought out a few processed vats.When the sack on the water tank stopped dripping, Qiu Cheng lifted the sack to the ground, opened the mouth of the sack, and put the shredded grass that had been soaked for several days into the prepared earthworm bucket.

In the spirit-gathering array, earthworms are very active and consume a lot of food every day. Qiu Cheng recently checked the soil in the earthworm buckets and found that the soil was almost ready. Coupled with the fact that their family was seriously short of fertilizer, they decided to take it first. A batch of vermicompost for planting.

They spread a plastic film in the corridor, then took out a few earthworm buckets from 1505, and put them upside down on the plastic film.

As soon as the upside-down earthworm bucket was lifted, the frightened earthworms fled around. Qiu Cheng and Achang had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they grabbed them all and threw them into the new earthworm bucket in a few clicks.

Then slowly sort out the remaining soil mound, pick out all the large and small earthworms and earthworm eggs inside, throw the big earthworms into the earthworm bucket just prepared today, put the small earthworms and earthworm eggs back into the original earthworm bucket, and add some Soak the broken grass, let them grow well in it, and help Qiu Cheng and the others make fertilizer by the way.

After tidying up all the earthworm buckets, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang carefully covered each earthworm bucket with cloth and tied them firmly with ropes. After being tormented by them today, the earthworms inside must be dishonest again. A mass exodus could very well happen when they're not looking.

Finally, put the earthworm buckets with large earthworms back on the shelf in the bathroom of 1505, and put the buckets with small earthworms and earthworm eggs in the aisle temporarily, and wait for two days for the brick pillars in the bathroom of 1506 to dry out. , you can put them in.

After a lot of tossing, he finally got a pile of fertile earthworm soil. Looking at the color, Qiu Chengcheng knew that the soil must be very fertile.

They transported these buckets of earthworms to the roof of the building, spread them out and exposed them to the sun, and when they were completely dry, the sterilization process was basically completed, and then the dried soil clods were crushed Powder, sprinkled in the rice fields, the next crop of rice should have a good harvest.

After working on the 1506th floor for a whole afternoon, the two returned to 1406 from [-] covered in sweat. After taking a shower, they began to prepare dinner for the day.

"Dingling, ringing..." The telephone in the living room rang.

No need to look, Qiu Cheng also knew that it must be Shen Xing who called, and she was the only one who would call their house now, because the fish farming factory also installed a telephone, it was much easier for the two parties to communicate.

"Hello." Ah Chang ran over to answer the phone with a piece of pear melon in his mouth.

Ah Chang was peeling pear melons just now, and when Qiu Cheng comes out of the kitchen, he can eat a few pieces of pear melons to quench his thirst. Of course, he usually eats while peeling. Eat up the melon pulp.

"Watching the news? Okay." Shen Xing on the other end of the phone said something, Ah Chang responded, then hung up the phone, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

"In the past two days, RD, NW, and country M have announced their recent research results. According to reliable sources, country M has arranged several freighters to go to China. The freighters are fully loaded with grain for the purpose of purchasing Chinese herbal medicine comes..."

Qiu Cheng came out of the kitchen with a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, put the plate on the coffee table, took a piece of pear melon, took a bite, and stood in the living room to watch.

"The several varieties of Chinese herbal medicines that have been identified so far are..."

The host then read out the names of several Chinese herbal medicines. Qiu Cheng listened and found that among the seven or eight kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, only one was used by himself when refining "Jiebaidu".

Thinking about it, the process of alchemy is different from pharmaceuticals after all. After the medicinal materials are refined, some shapes may have undergone some changes that are difficult to explain scientifically. It is normal for these researchers to search for ingredients based on the results. .

While eating pear melons and watching the news, Qiu Cheng felt a little strange at the beginning. Could it be that at this time, Huaguo should compete with other countries to buy Chinese herbal medicines, and quietly recruit them before the people get the news? Are a large number of Chinese herbal medicines stored?How could this news be broadcast on the news program so quickly?

Seeing the back, he soon understood that the country was encouraging the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine.This is indeed a very good direction of development. The economy is environmentally friendly and sustainable, and it is also in line with the national conditions of Huaguo.

After the News Feed was over, Ah Chang switched channels to watch the documentary. The two watched TV with a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of soy cabbage, and white rice.

"Dingling, ringing..." The phone rang again.

"Hello." This time it was Qiu Cheng who answered the call.

"Have you finished reading the news? What do you think?" Shen Xing asked Qiu Chengdao.

"No idea." Qiu Cheng said.

"Such a good opportunity, after passing this village, there will be no such shop." Shen Xing obviously didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to speculate.

"You'd better finish the fish farming factory first. You can't chew too much." Qiu Cheng knew that if he went to the sea to dump Chinese herbal medicines this time, he would definitely earn some money, but the news was broadcast, so he wanted to earn this. There are too many people with money, and when there are too many people, the water will be deep. Qiu Cheng thinks it's troublesome, so he doesn't plan to go to the muddy water.

"Think about it again, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Shen Xing persuaded again.

"Well, let me think about it again, what's going on at the fishing ground?" Qiu Cheng changed the subject, the news had just broadcast about Chinese herbal medicine, and Shen Xing's mind was probably a little hot at the moment.

"It's okay, the greenhouse on the roof is about to be built, do you think it's better to grow food or medicinal materials?" Shen Xing's mind is full of medicinal materials at the moment.

"Just look at it, I have no objection." Qiu Cheng said.

That night, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang didn't go out, but spent time in the shade on their terrace.

The summer in Xinnan City is very hot. Even in the middle of the night, it is difficult to feel the coolness of some coastal or western areas. Only in the hours from late night to early morning, the temperature will be slightly lower.

The two of them were blowing the air conditioner under the cowpea shelf, and when they looked up, they could see the stars in the sky through the gaps between the cowpea vines and leaves. The effect was similar to enjoying the shade.

I have to say that although the past five years have been a complete disaster for mankind, it may be a good thing for the earth's environment, because in Qiu Cheng's memory, except for childhood, the new It is very difficult to see such a starry sky in Nanshi.

"Oops, the elevator doesn't work!"

"It's only a few days, and the people here are using it up too quickly."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Look for Xiao Qiu on the fourteenth floor. I wonder if he's at home right now?"

"Yes, I didn't see them go out."

"I don't see any lights up there."

"Oh, it's hard to say, maybe we didn't see it when we went out."

"Why did the elevator in your building stop so early?"

"No way, people in our community have come and gone a lot recently. Sometimes they catch bugs outside all night. Who wants to climb the stairs when they come back? Whether it's the second floor or the third floor, they all take the elevator. No, it works. Not fast."

"Oh, it's great to be able to go out to catch bugs at night. Is the harvest good?"

"Hey, that's it, earn a living."

"You didn't see them go out just now, did you?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen the two brothers come out all day today."

"All right, let's go up and have a look."

"This is the fourteenth floor, why don't you try calling out from below?"

"Xiao Qiu! Xiao Qiu!"

"Is Xiaoqiu at home?"

Soon, someone below opened his throat and shouted.

"Who is it?" Qiu Cheng opened the window outside the glass room and asked with his head out.

"I am from 1401." The man replied.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Qiu Cheng beckoned them to go upstairs.

The news broadcast had just broadcast something about Chinese herbal medicines, and these people immediately came to find them. They probably wanted to sell their house to get some cornmeal and go out and dump Chinese herbal medicines.
