On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 758: Harvesting Rapeseed
After returning to the house filled with wood fragrance, the mother and daughter closed the doors and windows, took off their protective masks and gloves, washed their hands, and sat at the clean dining table.

Zhang Shi handed the chopsticks to his daughter and looked at her encouragingly.

Zhang Shiyi raised his little head and looked at his mother in confusion.

Zhang Shi said softly, "Eleven, we can talk here."

Making any sound in the Evolution Forest was a very dangerous thing. Eleven, who had been accustomed to silence, opened his mouth and tried several times before he finally uttered a soft and low cry.

"Mother."

After entering May, the temperature gets hotter day by day and the growth rate of crops also accelerates.

The soybean, mung bean and potato plants have all grown to thigh height. The fastest growing plant is corn, which is already taller than summer green.

Beautiful flowers bloomed on the one-meter-tall cotton plants, and the rice and wheat also began to ear and bloom. The farmland was full of hope and a sense of urgency.

Seeing these crops growing well, the lords couldn't help but think about these crop seedlings. In the second rain of rain that was about to come, how many of them would evolve into killing plants or even evolve into aggressive killing plants, resulting in reduced yields or even crop failure.

In order to reduce anxiety, the lords can only make as much preparation as possible, so all territories have been very busy recently.

Xia Qing, wearing comfortable and breathable summer clothes made of new material, cut the rapeseed plants that had turned yellow and lost their leaves and were full of bean pods, sorted them and placed them on three pieces of rainproof cloth spread in the greenhouse to dry.

There are 204 yellow rapeseed plants drying on the largest piece of rainproof cloth. They can be directly pressed for oil and eaten. Xia Qing plans to keep them and not take them out for exchange.

55 red rapeseed plants are drying on the second rainproof cloth. The seeds of this rapeseed must be sent to the food factory for reduction before they can be processed into food or oil. This food has very low nutritional value and will be sold at a low price to ordinary people in the safe zone to fill their stomachs.

On the smallest piece of rainproof cloth, there are seven yellow-light rapeseed plants with a harmful element content of more than 0.6 parts per thousand. These are cultivable and optimized varieties that grew from an acre of field and can be kept as seeds.

Those more than 200 plants cannot be used as seeds because their harmful element content exceeds 10 thousandths.

After a rough estimate, Xia Qing found that the harvest of one acre of rapeseed could not even cover the fertilizer, insecticide and fungicide used in the rapeseed field, not to mention the cost of building a greenhouse and the labor and sheep labor spent on this acre of land from last winter to May this year.

Not only rapeseed, but also the winter wheat in the fields suffered losses.

The root cause was that before the snow fell last winter, the Fiery Catching Team used poison gas bombs on Hill No. 50, causing the red-level snowfall in the northern district to last too long, resulting in the loss of more than half of the crops planted in the territory's farmland at the time.

There are no seedlings in the fields anymore, so there’s no point in getting a harvest!

Although the Fiery Team compensated the lords for their losses with yellow wheat seeds, the lords still felt distressed when they saw the sparse wheat and rapeseed fields and kept cursing Fiery Team for being a good-for-nothing.

Of course, behind their backs, they cursed by name, and in the lords' channel, they cursed with innuendo. Liehuo was Huiyi's first team, and the lords couldn't afford to offend them.

Zhu Li cursed and asked, "Have you found any rapeseed fields that can be cultivated and optimized? I only have three plants with a toxic element content of 6.5‰, and a total of 53 rapeseed pods. The rapeseed I harvested can't even fill half an acre of land."

Although this crop of rapeseed was a loss-making one, the lords still chose to continue planting it.

Firstly, the aggressive evolutionary form of this rapeseed only has some small thorns, and is much less dangerous than the dancing potato vines. Secondly, this winter's snowstorms should not be as severe as last year's, and more rapeseed plants should be able to survive the snowstorm period and successfully survive the first snowstorm next year and produce seeds successfully.

Yuan Yan also came online, "I only have two strains here."

Seeing that everyone had two or three plants, Tang Huai asked Xia Qing, "Xia Qing, what about you? You have half an acre more rapeseed than everyone else, so you should have a few more plants, right?"

Xia Qing pressed the button, "I have 7 strains here, and the content of harmful elements is also more than parts per thousand."

Wen Nengjie immediately came online, "Seven plants are enough to plant half an acre. With Sister Qing's luck, it is very likely that green light optimized varieties will appear after planting. Are Brother Feng and Brother Heng here? How are you guys doing?"

Tang Heng came online, speaking in a gentle voice, "My ratio is similar to everyone else's. A total of 68 optimized strains were harvested, of which six were green lights." It was not Hu Zifeng who went online in the No. 320 Territory, but Tang Zhou, "The ratio on the No. 58 Territory side is similar, with strains harvested, of which were green lights."

Territory No. 1 planted 50 acres of rapeseed at the beginning of last winter, and Territory No. 12 planted 10 acres. The ratio of cultivable and optimized seeds they harvested is indeed similar to that of everyone else.

But! Among their optimized varieties there is green light rapeseed, which is completely different.

Kuang Qingwei immediately went online and asked, "Brother Heng, Brother Tang, can I ask where you got the rapeseed seeds you planted last year?"

This was a big deal, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Tang Heng was still gentle, "Part of it is the planting center of our base, and part of it is Huiwu. Huiwu's yellow rapeseed is of better quality than our base, and the green rapeseed plants are also grown from seeds bought from Huiwu."

Tang Zhou replied, "The situation in Territory No. 1 is the same as Territory No. 12."

Kuang Qingwei immediately took note, "Thank you, Brother Heng, Brother Tang. It seems that Huiwu's high-quality rapeseed seeds are also effective when planted here."

Xia Qing nodded in agreement.

After planting for more than a year, she found that the stability of high-quality seeds purchased from other bases was very different from the data provided by the place of origin.

For example, the BS-6 green-light rice seeds, a specialty of the Bai San Base, did not grow well when planted in the best soil in the Xiaqing Territory, and the content of harmful elements also increased rapidly. Also, the Y-3 green-light corn, a specialty of the Hong Shiyi Base, grew better and was more stable than the BS-6 in the Territory No. .

After analyzing the reason, Xia Qing believed that the climate and soil conditions of Baisan Base were very different from those of Huisan Base. The same was true for Hongshiyi Base, which was separated from Huisan by a vast sea of ​​evolutionary forests, but the gap was smaller than that of the former.

The high-quality wheat M-14 and high-quality rice J-2 cultivated in Territory No. , which is only three kilometers away from Territory No. , are growing very well in Territory No. .

Huiwu is 600 miles away from Huisan, and its climate is similar to Huisan. It is reasonable that Huiwu's high-quality rapeseed seeds grow well here.

Qi Fu came to the same conclusion as Xia Qing, "When we exchange high-quality seeds in the future, we should give priority to Huiyi and Huiwu. Our three bases are close to each other and have similar climatic conditions."

"Brother Qi is right." Zhao Ze also came online, "According to that statement, the X-2 from our base may not grow well if it is promoted to other bases."

This is good news for the lords of Huisan Base. If this is true, the price of x-2 Gaoyi Elemental Spinach will not drop too low.

Just when everyone was about to start a heated discussion on this issue, a very powerful female voice suddenly came online.

"Tangzhou, are you in Territory No. 1?"

Tang Zhou recognized the other party's identity and felt a little nervous, but he still confessed honestly, "Yes, I just came back the day before yesterday."

Tang Zhou likes farming very much, so when he comes back from a mission to rest, he prefers to stay in the territory rather than the safe zone.

It was because he came back to take charge that Hu Zifeng had the opportunity to go out and carry out the mission.

Yanlong asked again, "Are you busy now?"

Xia Qing in Territory No. 3 silently lit a stick of incense for Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou felt the pressure, but he didn't dare not tell the truth, "I'm not busy, Sister Yan, you give me your orders."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

Tangzhou... Is it too late for me to run now?

Xia Qing: If I run faster, can I still catch up to watch the game?
