Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

018
A good harvest is always a pleasure, especially when modern machinery is available.

After the players pulled the carrots once and confirmed that they could harvest them without using one-click, Hope Star immediately arranged for agricultural machinery to harvest the carrots. This agricultural machinery was specially designed for harvesting carrots. It combines pulling out carrots, separating leaves and tubers, separating soil, and turning the soil in one machine. It is convenient and fast, and seven or eight acres of land can be harvested in one day.

The collection is fast, but it will still take more than ten trips to transport it back to Star Hope, because the space of the Summer Festival is only one hundred cubic meters.

She guessed that maybe the number of players did not increase, so the space did not continue to increase, but it was also possible that the space could only be this big and could not be expanded further.

If it is the latter, Xia Ji said it would be a headache, because it is foreseeable that more and more food will need to be transported back to Star Hope. How long will it take to transport just the 100 cubic meters she has?
She prayed that when she became a level 2 player, her space would be expanded.

In the end, the total harvest of carrots and leaves from the ten acres of land was about 150,000 kilograms.

After discussion, it was decided to temporarily turn all of these into nutrient solution and supply it to the people. Otherwise, one of the bases would really run out of food.

The flavor of carrots themselves is still very strong. Even when mixed with other fish, the nutrient solution produced has a faint taste of carrots.

On that day, the topic #carrot-flavored nutrient solution# became a hot search topic, and netizens were talking about it. Some speculated that the country had developed an edible carrot-flavored chemical flavor and mixed it into the nutrient solution, but someone immediately denied it, thinking that even if a chemical flavor was developed, it should not taste like carrots. There are so many delicious foods in Huameng, wouldn’t it be nice to have other flavors?
Some speculated that the fishing boats had salvaged the carrots that were vacuum sealed and stored before immigration, and used them to make nutrient solution. This speculation was denied again, because it was not time for the fishing boats to return. The last time the fishing boats returned, they did not say what they had salvaged. Moreover, it was not the time when immigration had just begun, and there would be news of salvaging food reserves from time to time. The sea level of the Blue Water Star was so high that it almost submerged the first peak. The sea creatures were also mutating one after another. It was unknown how dangerous it was. Even if an aircraft carrier was launched, there was a risk of being bitten by monsters.

There are two most popular speculations. One is that something happened with the fishing boat, and in order to supply the people with life-saving food, the country had to thaw the carrots that were refrigerated before the end of the world and use them to make nutrient solution.

Another speculation is that the country successfully planted carrots on Hope Star, so there is this carrot-flavored nutrient solution.

Although the public denies the former and believes that it is impossible for the country to have reserve grain in the fifth year of Hope Star, there are also more people who think that given our country's habit of stockpiling, there won't really be no food at all. However, this does not make the public feel at ease, but makes them panic. The reserve grain that can be taken out at this time is probably the kind that is at the bottom of the box and will be gone after it is used up. This means that the country's food crisis has become serious to a certain extent.

Although the situation was very serious in the past, the citizens of Huameng could at least receive ten bottles of nutrient solution every month, so they would not starve to death. Now if they can only use the reserves at the bottom of the box, everyone would panic and ask the official media if there is really no food. The latter's speculation made people happy. They felt that even if the country had reserves at this time, it would not be carrots, but rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which are high-yield and durable. If there is carrot-flavored nutrient solution at this time, it must be a breakthrough in planting technology, and maybe carrots can be grown stably, so the official can have the confidence to use carrots in the nutrient solution.

"It must be a breakthrough in planting technology, right? Woohoo, it's been five years on Hope Star, and I've finally waited for this day. I dreamed that one day the country would tell me that we can plant crops and we don't have to worry about starving to death. Even if the sea monsters on the Blue Water Star mutate further and the fishing boats can't catch any fish, we won't starve to death."

"Is it true? Has our country really made a breakthrough in planting technology, broken the curse of not being able to plant, and successfully planted carrots? Were they planted in a cultivation base? Do you still need help? I can help without being paid, as long as I can eat fresh food. If I hadn't drunk the carrot-flavored nutrient solution this time, I would have forgotten the taste of those foods and only remembered the taste of fish and seaweed."

"Why are you all so lucky to have carrot flavor, but I didn't buy it. Our entire community didn't buy this flavor of nutrient solution. Can the person upstairs tell us which base it is from? National daddy, please look at us, we also want carrot flavor. Or can you sell us soil that can grow carrots so that we can grow them ourselves? My child was still young when she encountered the end of the world, and now she doesn't believe that there are plants and animals like those in the movies in reality. I want her to know that reality is not just endless gray rain, but also vivid colors. Our country is working hard for this!"

"I always feel that you are all too optimistic. If there is a breakthrough in planting technology, and carrots can be grown on Hope Star, the country will not hide it and will definitely report it to be inspiring. I am afraid that this is the 'last supper'. After eating it this month, there will be no more next month. Just thinking about it, I feel that I have no motivation to live. I don't understand why we have to go through all this. I thought that if we moved to another planet, our lives would be able to return to the original state, but who would have thought that life would get worse and worse. This damn rain has been falling for three months in a row. I feel like I am getting moldy and my skin has shown some signs of ulceration. I want to die. Why don't you let me die before the end of the world? I would rather die on Water Blue Star than die on this damn Hope Star! No, this is not Hope Star, it is Despair Star, the planet that swallowed us up."

"Don't be so pessimistic above! The apocalypse didn't wipe us out, and the country didn't give up on us. Why should we give up on ourselves? I don't want to die, I just want to live. No matter how hard it is, I will endure it. I believe that the country has been working hard, and I believe in the country's strength. Before the apocalypse, our country was a major grain and technological power. We are still researching artificial sun technology. It must be when the technology is mature and crops can grow that we can have carrot-flavored nutrient solution. Wait a little longer, I will definitely wait until the day when the country announces good news!"

There was a lot of discussion online, with several hot searches about this topic in the top ten, and even people abroad were discussing this issue.

After the Chinese Alliance became a superpower, every country paid close attention to it. After immigration, there was even more attention paid to the Chinese Alliance. Every time there was news from the Chinese Alliance, foreign countries would move it back for discussion, or directly discuss it on the Chinese Alliance website.

However, due to the different distances between the major bases, the network does not have global coverage, and only a small number of them can communicate with each other. Therefore, most of the time, foreigners will move the news back to their networks after getting it, and discuss it with those who cannot connect to the Huameng network.
