Busy Farming In the Last Days - Chapter 72

As soon as the lively atmosphere of New Year’s Eve passed, the base immediately entered more intense production and construction.

At present, the base’s resources and personnel composition have not reached the point where they can sit and eat with confidence. Every minute and every second should be grasped. Among these, the part of the farm that is in charge of Season Tea is the most critical.

Ji Cha got up early, but he was not the first to arrive at the work place. Zhao Tiankuo had already waited there early with a few technicians.

If it is placed under natural conditions, there are almost no things that can be planted now, and it is troublesome to plant. However, using greenhouse technology, plus the short planting period and cold tolerance of many vegetables, it is completely possible to grow some edible vegetables.

There is a problem that has been facing the farm before, which is the key seed degradation. Before the end of the world, the seeds that can be bought in stores are basically for one-time use, and the seeds cultivated in the fruits grown from commercial seeds will inevitably degenerate. Today, Zhao Tiankuo suddenly told Ji Cha a good news: “Yesterday two technicians who were just doing this kind of work came here, plus the seed stocks we have now, so there is no need to worry about using them before the research results are obtained. Finished the seed.”

“That’s great,” Ji Cha’s mood immediately jumped up, “I also left a lot of carefully selected seeds over there. The previous batch was used for planting, and the degradation is not obvious. This is also a guarantee.”

As the first batch of vegetables after the New Year has been planted to the first batch of mature harvest, the canteen has basically been able to keep vegetables every day. With the arrival of spring, various staple foods have also begun the planting process, and the farm has officially become the busiest area outside of various construction projects.

But what makes Jicha the most happy is the stability of animal husbandry. The chickens have already been released, and they can prepare meat and vegetables for the canteen for a few days. The other chicks also saved a lot. From the beginning, the management staff were at a loss and needed Ji Cha’s guidance to now master their own work areas, which made the burden on Ji Cha’s shoulders a lot easier.

The rate of birth of rabbits is also astonishing as expected in the tea season. Now the first breeding rabbits have given birth for the third time, and the first batch of bunnies have begun to show signs of sexual maturity. More than two hundred rabbits have been born. Season tea left most of the female rabbits, and except for the male rabbits with good traits, the others were sent to the canteen, and the furs were left to give to the production textile block in the base.

However, the prosperity of the current situation has not allowed Ji Cha to completely relieve the pressure in his heart. After all, if a small disaster occurs at this time, the harvest may fall short.

Unexpectedly, the pests and diseases did not wait first, and other situations appeared.

The weather at the end of March finally began to warm up gradually, because it was stable everywhere, and Ji Cha could spend half a day at home without running around. Unexpectedly, just after lunch that day, a technician from the farm rushed over and told Ji Cha anxiously: “Xiao Ji, something went wrong in the vegetable area.”

Ji Cha quickly threw down his job and led the technicians to the vegetable area on a small electric donkey.

To say something happened, it can be big or small. A few days ago, after the newly planted seeds germinated, it was discovered that the greens in a corner suddenly changed. Not only did the color become yellow, the figure was also very fat, and the behavior of eating the surrounding vegetables appeared.

“Damn it, this is too evil, can this grow a mouth to eat the same kind?” Zhao Tiankuo squatted to the side and looked dumbfounded.

Season Tea has experience with this, and this phenomenon was not unheard of on the farm in the last days. He quickly pulled Zhao Tiankuo away, “Don’t bother to get too close.”

As soon as the voice fell, a leaf hit the place where Zhao Tiankuo was squatting just now, and the seemingly soft leaf was deeply embedded in the soil.

Zhao Tiankuo was so scared that he sat on the ground with a **** butt, and he didn’t dare to stand too close.

“Dispose of these mutated vegetables first, and then quickly patrol to see if there is such a situation in other greenhouses.” Ji Cha frowned, “Burn it with fire, don’t touch it with your hands. There will be something else in this piece of land within a month. “

The workers below hurriedly followed their instructions. As soon as the flamethrower was operated, the green vegetables that were originally yellowish stood up at once, took off their weak camouflage, and the blades flicked as if they were about to catch the flame. However, he was burned to ashes in the end.

“The root system below is also dug out with a shovel and burned clean. Don’t leave it behind.”

The roots of Ji Cha are not for no reason. The workers took the hoe, and the root system dug down by the **** was actually squirming. Everyone felt sick when they saw it, and many people turned their faces away.

After solving the problem of this large shed, the farm area began to become tense in the past two days, and every large shed has stepped up patrols.

Although such a variation has occurred, it did not cause any major losses because of the timely control. Ji Cha is not all worried about this. Because the mutation after the end of the world is twofold, the mutation of green vegetables is negative, but like the apple tree in the home yard, their mutation is positive. If the positive variation can be obtained and used, then part of the food problem may be solved.

Therefore, season tea began to pay special attention, so as not to rush the positively mutated grain before the harvest.

After patrolling the vegetable area for five days, Ji Cha really found a little bit different. There was still the big shed where the negative mutation occurred, almost right next to the negative mutation, a small piece of greens grew very fast, and it looked very green and full of vitality.

“This one is 20 days old. In theory, it should be only under normal growth. This one is one-third as large as this one. The leaves and leaf stems are not so well-hydrated.”

“This is almost catching up with the mature ones.” Ji Cha squatted down and touched the leaves with her hands. There was no abnormality on the surface of the plant. It felt no different from normal vegetables, but the difference was obvious. Has it ever happened?” He looked up and asked.

The worker said: “There have been so many of them. They have grown to be very big. Originally 20 cm dishes can grow to 60 cm in the end, but because the quantity is small, it didn’t feel strange. They were all sent to the cafeteria together. A few will come out.”

“Okay,” Ji Cha said in his heart, “Don’t harvest this kind of vegetable next time you encounter it. Save the seeds for harvest.”

“Got it.” The worker nodded.

After a busy day, Ji Cha returned home and sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyes.

Grandma walked out of the kitchen and patted the back of his hand lightly, “Rub your eyes after washing your hands. Your eyes should feel uncomfortable for a while.”

Ji Cha sniffed and smelled the scent from the kitchen, “What are you eating tonight, grandma?”

Zhang Qinqin poked her head out of the kitchen with a smile, “Braised rabbit meat is the main course.”

Xiaochao sat on the small bench at the door of the kitchen and read the picture book. Xiaochao looked serious.

Ji Cha couldn’t help laughing, and the phone in his arms shook twice. He hurriedly lowered his head and took it out, but he was a little disappointed at first glance.

The short message was only sent from the base’s internal notification message, not the Liang Jincheng that Ji Cha had originally expected.

Liang Jincheng has been out for two days, and the last time he contacted Ji Cha was last night. The signal station of the base can only provide signal communication within a short distance, and will naturally lose contact after a certain distance. Although Liang Jincheng has left the base more frequently recently and has been out for a long time, Ji Cha still can’t get used to it. The inside of the base is always very peaceful, but the turmoil outside and the crises of the tea season are all well aware.

No matter how high Liang Jincheng’s force is, his life may be threatened every minute and every second outside.

The sky is getting dark. A hundred kilometers away from the base, the supernatural team was resting in the car.

The sleeper car has been modified to increase the firmness of the exterior, and the interior is also large enough to accommodate twelve adults. Liang Jincheng was lying at the bottom of the first floor, holding his cell phone to read the text messages between yesterday and Ji Cha. After reading it several times, I couldn’t help but order the photos of Kaijicha. I have seen him secretly photographed before going out this time since I was a college student.

“Boss, I miss my sister-in-law that way.” Qin Shuang on the upper bunk poked his head out and said with a grin: “Don’t take my sister-in-law with you next time, so you don’t have to look at your phone every day.”

“Hahaha, how can the boss bear so much hardship outside.” Someone else laughed.

Liang Jincheng didn’t mind the small jokes they made. He turned over and sat up, and suddenly everyone stopped talking and listened.

“Someone is coming.” Qin Shuang put away his smiling face and took out his weapon from under the pillow.

After the car was turned off, it was basically invisible in the woods with the external camouflage, and there were not many people coming to listen to the footsteps, about a dozen. This is completely stress-free for the supernaturalists, let alone more than a dozen supernaturalists together.

“The people in the car come down!” A low voice immediately sounded outside.

Liang Jincheng looked out from the one-way glass, and what came was a group of young to middle-aged men. Judging from their clothing, they are at least passable, proving that they are not struggling to survive. At this time, if only a small team of a dozen people is sad to live like this, this can only further show that there may be greater prevention behind them.

It is not surprising that there are other bases besides the S base. It’s just that you should be cautious about whether you are an enemy or a friend. Liang Jincheng put the phone back under his pillow, and put the dagger and gun into the leather bag on his waist.
