I plant a field in the last days
Chapter 190 Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
Lu Yuan looked at Grandpa seriously and said: "Grandpa, what you said, I am now the person in charge of the entire base. They have to come to me if they have something to do. They will not do anything to our family. Besides, even if it is If they really want to do something to me, they have to have this ability. Since I have the ability to feed them and also have the ability to fight against them! You can rest assured!"
This is Dad Lu and Dad Xiaoshan sitting on the sidelines. They looked at each other and said to Lu Yuan: "Why don't we go with you tomorrow? We can also give you courage then. If the people below really dare to do something to you, we can't be polite with him. The people of our old Lu family are kind to them, and they can't avenge revenge like that!"
"Yeah, if you want to do something to my old guard's son-in-law, you have to weigh it. I still don't believe it. They have eaten our meal, and they want to do it to them as white-eyed wolves. Get used to them!"
Chen Bin also nodded again and again and said, "Mr. Lu, you are kind to me. I will follow you tomorrow. Anyway, Brother Zhou is protecting the father and them, so the matter is left to him, and the base I am more adept at management issues. I believe that as long as I persuade the ministers below, then no one else will be a problem!"
Everyone expressed their own thoughts and opinions. After listening to Lu Yuan, he couldn't help being touched. He didn't expect that at this juncture of crisis, everyone could stand by his pillow and consider for himself, as long as he had some, because of this. The world changed and the heart became a little cold, and a hint of warmth suddenly appeared.
When everyone was discussing, suddenly there was a cry from a distance.
"President Lu, which tent are you in? I have something to say to you!"
Lu Yuan listened with his ears to the side. This voice came from Wu Tian.
So he walked out of the tent and looked out in the thick fog. He couldn't tell who was who. Lu Yuan could only shout loudly at the characters and beckoned.
After a while, Lu Yuan saw a person rushing out of the thick fog. Wu Tian, who was wearing a white coat, helped his glasses and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Mr. Lu, I finally found you. I have good news for you!"
Lu Yuan glanced at each other, then led him into the tent.
After Wu Tian looked at the people sitting in the tent, he was a little surprised. He looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously.
"I just had a small meeting and I didn't find you. I heard that you were doing an experiment and I didn't bother you. You happened to be here too. Well, you can talk about it first, what's the good thing!"
Lu Yuan didn’t hide anything from Wu Tian, because Wu Tian’s personality was like this. He would devote 200% of his energy to experiments, but he didn’t care much about the management of the base. It can even be said that if you can escape, you can escape. Originally, Lu Yuan planned to let him be the person in charge of the scientific research institution, but he also procrastinated again and again, and did not intend to take up this burden.
But Wu Tian expressed his feelings about the various experimental equipment and subjects Lu Yuan provided him. After all, he was a person who couldn't take any time off. Once he had the research handed over to him, he was definitely the saddest one.
Wu Tian took out a research report from his arms and put it on the table and said: "I have researched out the secret of genetic changes in our seeds! The growth rate of the first generation of these seeds is five times that of ordinary plants. , And the growth rate of the second generation is four times that of ordinary plants and so on, until the fifth generation it is the same as ordinary plants!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sighed after hearing what he said, and then shook his head. He already knew about this. The reason why he gave this subject to the other party was to prevent it from being too appalling.
After all, he didn’t have a research team in his hands. After Wu Tian came, he led the team to conduct research. He was the expert in this area. If he heard Lu Yuan say that he had researched these seeds, he would definitely break the casserole and ask. , Lu Yuan would definitely have to make up a lot of things by then.
However, in the presence of experts like Wu Tian, these lies are extremely easy to debunk, so he only said that these seeds were handed over to him by others, and the question of where they came from was directly covered up.
Fortunately, Wu Tian did not intend to investigate this issue further, but after a period of research, he finally cracked the genetic code of this seed.
"Oh, I see." Lu Yuan said lightly.
Hearing Lu Yuan's answer in such a breezy way, Wu Tian suddenly felt a sense of frustration, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. He doesn't want to know why or what it means. He just wants to find a new piece of land as soon as possible, and then plant a large area to solve the food problem in the base. Crucially, as for the genetic code or something, he was not interested.
Wu Tian is nothing more than a look of hatred for iron but not steel: "Oh, then I won’t sell Guanzi. After getting the genetic code of this plant, it means that we can also use these codes to carry out large-scale experiments on plants. Transformation, as long as their genetic modification is successful, we can even get plant seeds that are five times faster than the growth rate of plants or even higher, and then our food crisis may be resolved!"
After Lu Yuan heard these words, he was not only a little stunned, but he looked at the man with glasses in front of him with some inconceivability. He didn't expect that after such an explanation, Lu Yuan discovered the New World again.
"You mean that you can get a higher growth rate by using the cracked secrets?"
Wu Tian nodded immediately, and said proudly: "That's right. As long as the genetic code is cracked, these things are not a problem. Now we have cracked the machine code. The first wave will give us some more time. It can successfully develop plant seeds that grow faster!"
After hearing Wu Tian's words, Lu Yuan's heart that had just become active was wiped out again for a while?He can't wait for such a long time now, what he needs now is to get these seeds out immediately, and then plant them, now he still has half a month to allow him to delay any longer.
"Then how long do you expect to complete this research?" Lu Yuan didn't talk nonsense, he announced this directly.
Wu Tian scratched his head, stretched out three fingers, then shook his head, stretched out five fingers directly.
"At least five months!"
As soon as Wu Tian's words came out, everyone in the entire tent sighed helplessly.Five months, they don't have so much time, let alone five months, even if it is fifty days, they can't wait any longer. The time left for them still has about half a month.
Standing aside, Chen Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Our stock of grain is running out, and you know, the experimental field we planted has now all fallen into the rift valley!"
After Wu Tian listened, he was shocked. He quickly glanced at Lu Yuan, who could only nodded.
"Yes, all our desserts have fallen into the rift valley, which means that we can only eat our own money now! And our food is now running out, and we have enough food to eat for half a month! Tomorrow! I’m going to announce this to everyone when I am coming, so you have to wait five months for me to give it!"
After hearing what Lu Yuan said, Wu Tian suddenly sat weakly on a chair beside him, staring at his hands blankly.
"How can this be? Five months will not work, so can you give me some more time! One month, as long as I insist on one month, I promise to solve the food issue!"
When Wu Tian finished saying this, his eyes stared at Lu Yuan with a look of expectation.
When everyone sitting next to Lu Yuan heard Wu Tian say this, they were suddenly a little surprised.
"One month? You promise to solve the food issue in one month?" Lu Yuan stared at Wu Tian closely.
Wu Tian gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Yes, I promise to solve the food issue in one month!"
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will give you one month. If you can't solve the food problem by then, I will ask for you!"
Wu Tian immediately stood up from the chair and said with a serious expression: "I promise to complete the task. If the food problem is not resolved in a month, you will push me into the rift valley!
Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry and shook his head and said, "What's the use for me to push you into the rift valley? It's better to cut you off and stew it into a pot of porridge for everyone to eat!"
After hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone's heart was full of chills, although Lu Yuan also felt that what he said was not funny.
After dinner, Lu Yuan sneaked into his dimensional space secretly while everyone was sleeping at night. All he had to do now was to see how much food he could take out of his dimensional space. Now there are several thousand. Open your mouth and wait for yourself.
During this period of time, Lu Yuan found a lot of dimensional spar plots nearby, which has expanded to 500 square meters, but the plot is still a third-level plot and is not continuing to be upgraded. Although the growth rate has increased, Lu Yuan Far from knowing that it is still not enough.
So Lu Yuan harvested all the wheat in the dimensional space, and then talked about piles of potatoes and sweet potatoes. All the rhizomes were plucked out of the ground, and he randomly found a kitchen knife. All were cut into cubes and stuffed into the ground.
For an area of 500 square meters, Lu Yuan has been busy for several hours. Now Lu Yuan has planted all potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two crops grow very fast and do not require human attention.
More importantly, the biggest advantage of these two crops is that after they grow to a certain extent, they will split and other roots will continue to grow. In this way, as long as these potatoes and sweet potatoes are buried in the ground, they can Continuous growth.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan came out tiredly from the dimension space. He had been busy all night, and there was dirt all over his body. When he appeared in the tent, Xiao Shan was a little surprised when he saw that he was covered with dirt.
"You...what did you do? How do you see you sweating profusely and being so dirty!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go get some potatoes and sweet potatoes. These crops may become our main food in the future. I have planted a lot in the open area of the back mountain. I hope that there will be enough potatoes and sweet potatoes. sweet potato!"
Xiaoshan looked at Lu Yuan in surprise: "Why don't you call me about this!"
Lu Yuan said with a slight smile on his face: "It's okay, there are not many plants. In a few days, I might go to refurbishment and see how these potatoes are growing!"
Lu Yuan of Xiaoshan's help changed the deeply dirty clothes and found another one to put on him. Looking at Lu Yuan with a tired face, Xiaoshan felt a little distressed.
"I'll accompany you in a while, but I believe you will definitely not embarrass you too much!"
Lu Yuan shook his head, "No, you can spend time with your parents and grandparents at home. I believe they will definitely understand me. After all, this matter is related to the survival of everyone, and I There is already a good solution!"
With a hint of surprise on Xiaoshan's face, she asked, "Are you talking about those potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"This is only part of it, but we still have food. As long as we save a little bit, stick to it for a month and a half. One month should be enough!"
Xiaoshan nodded and handed the wet towel to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan gently wiped the dust off her face with the towel, then took a bowl of gruel and drank it before leaving without looking back. Tent.
On this day, the earthquake did not happen again, and the fog in the entire valley gradually dissipated. When everyone sat in the open space of the back mountain, everyone had a look of doubt on their faces. They didn't know Lu Yuan. What is the purpose of holding this mobilization meeting?
Lu Yuan stood on the rostrum with a big horn in his hand. He stared at the crowd and said, "To gather everyone together today, there is something I want to tell everyone!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd. Everyone said something very quietly, but there were seven thousand people. The voices of these seven thousand people gathered together, let this valley There is a lot of noise in it.
After waiting for nearly two minutes, Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and everyone slowly stopped their voices.
As the crowd calmed down, suddenly I didn't know who said, "Mr. Lu, is there no food?"
