Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 33 Development Plan
The reason why Li Mu named the shelter he built "Wanling" was that he hoped that in the future, his shelter would be able to shelter all kinds of creatures in the world, not just humans.

There are about 300 people in the shelter now, 80% of them are young and middle-aged men and women, and the remaining 20% ​​are elderly and children.

With the initial completion of Wanling City, Li Mu decided to put his long-standing development plan on the agenda.

In this plan, there are three key points:

The first is to clear the hundreds of acres of rice fields covered with snow in Wanling City and count all population information.

The person in charge of this step was Cheng Cheng, who led a hundred people to clear all the snow in the rice fields, and then turned the soil for sowing.

Li Mu will help with the first tillage so that the seeds can be sown as early as possible. The residents of the shelter will be fully responsible for the subsequent planting.

Three crops were selected for sowing, namely blood wheat, potatoes and milo.

As long as all of these hundred acres of farmland can be planted, it will not only solve the food problem after the evacuation, but also allow the 10,000 kilograms of potatoes and 30,000 kilograms of rice owed to the mayor to be repaid as soon as possible.

Before the end of the world, Li Mu was a person who didn't like to owe anything to others.

No matter whether it is a favor or money, if it is not repaid one day, Li Mu will feel pressured. As long as he has the ability, he will definitely repay it as soon as possible.

The cultivation of these three crops requires animal blood, so the second focus of work is to hunt enough mutant beasts and raise poultry.

This task is given to Ah Sao.

Ever since he had more than 300 survivors under his command, Li Mu felt a little pressure in his heart.

Now he is no longer responsible for the food and safety of three people, but more than three hundred people, and there will be more in the future.

During the time he was building the city wall, the food reserves in the shelter were greatly challenged. Although Li Mu would try his best to ripen the food during his rest time, it was still a drop in the bucket considering the needs of 300 people.

The situation was not alleviated until Cheng Cheng and Asao started hunting mutant beasts to supplement food.

However, hunting mutant beasts requires a certain level of strength. Before entering Wanling City, these survivors could not even get enough food, let alone replenish enough source energy to awaken or become source warriors.

So when it comes to meat, Li Mu plans to adopt two approaches at the same time.

The first one is for Asao to lead the twenty strongest people in the city to hunt down some ordinary mutant beasts of the first and second levels, use the blood of the beasts for farming, and use the meat of the beasts to supplement food.

The second way is to trade a batch of poultry that can be raised, such as chickens and ducks, with the West Lake Shelter.

Raising poultry not only provides a supply of meat that can be replenished at any time, but most importantly, it ensures sustainable development.

The eggs laid by chickens and ducks can be eaten or they can be used to hatch chicks and ducklings.

Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, and the descendants are endless.

The third focus of work is related to the future development of Wanling City. Whether Wanling City can surpass the large-scale shelters built by the government in the future, or even surpass them, all depends on Li Mu’s research work.

Before building Wanling City, Li Mu fought alone.

Whether it is improving and optimizing existing plants or combining different plants to create new plants, Li Mu relies on his own sudden inspiration.

As the saying goes, one person's plans are short, but two people's plans are long. The reason why mankind has been able to survive for so many years is not because of the bravery of one person, but because of the collective wisdom!
Although Li Mu has the ability to transform plants, his ideas are limited and his reserves of basic knowledge are very scarce.

If Li Mu had the help of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the number of new plants he could transform would be many times more than it is now.

This is also an important purpose of Li Mu’s establishment of Wanling City, to create his own team.

In the early days of the apocalypse, the seeds of many plants were relatively easy to collect. If Li Mu did not seize this opportunity, in another year or two, it would be difficult for him to collect enough plant samples.

Therefore, he hurriedly built Wanling City and recruited a large number of survivors, which would make it easier for him to select suitable talents to assist him. It was actually a bit of a waste to use Li Mu's ability to ripen food, and large-scale cultivation still had to rely on planting.

What he should do is to build a botanical ecological park, an artificial forest, and establish a recyclable ecosystem!

Li Mu's goal is to use plants to replace all pre-apocalyptic technological products and turn Wanling City into a biochemical city that relies on extraordinary plants to operate.

All of these have to be done step by step, and his top priority now is to maintain the development of Wanling City.

……

In the center of Wanling City stands a huge banyan tree that is completely yellow.

This is the "City Lord's Mansion" specially renovated by Li Mu. It is more than ten meters wide and more than thirty meters high, and is divided into thirteen floors.

The bottom three floors are where three people eat and meet guests. The top ten floors have three floors, each for one person. First it was Yu Shuaikang, then Yao Chengcheng, and finally Li Mu.

The top floor of the thirteenth floor is where three people practice and discuss matters.

The reason why the City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Wanling City is to make it convenient for Li Mu and the other two to observe the dynamics of the entire city in a timely manner.

If anything happens, the three of them can deal with it in time.

Before Wanling City was fully built, the three of them had some arguments about how the residents should address them.

Li Mu didn't want to be called mayor or general or something like that. He had a sense of vanity as an official, not to mention that the government was still alive.

I also don't want to be called "king" or "village leader" or something like that, as if I were a bandit.

After some discussion, considering that the shelter created by the three people was named Wanling City, he simply proclaimed himself the lord of the city.

Li Mu is the city lord, Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang are the deputy city lords. (Yu Shuaikang is Ah Sao)

Li Mu is responsible for the development of Wanling City. After all, his abilities are there.

Yao Chengcheng didn't like fighting, so he was responsible for managing the farmland and population of Wanling City.

After all, Yu Shuaikang is impatient and likes fighting. He enjoys the thrill of licking blood on the tip of a knife. He is responsible for managing the armed forces of Wanling City.

At this time, on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mu and the other two were sitting at a wooden round conference table, discussing some things.

"Do you two have any disagreements about the tasks I assigned you?"

On the east side of the conference table, Li Mu crossed his arms and asked Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang on both sides.

"Although we both came from the countryside, I've never farmed before. I'm not sure about the cultivation of these hundred acres of fertile land. How about you find someone else?"

"But counting people is a piece of cake for me."

Yao Chengcheng on the left touched his nose and said helplessly.

"Weren't there a hundred people assigned to you? You are the manager, watching over the others to plant the seeds, not asking you to plant the seeds yourself."

"If you don't know how to do it, you can ask the residents in the city. If that doesn't work, you can go to the West Lake Shelter and ask the professionals for help."

“Opinion rejected.”
