Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

021
The manor was suddenly attacked, and it was a strong attack at that. The system had to activate the emergency protection mechanism to resist it. This made the team who were obsessed with farming and infrastructure construction feel a sense of crisis.

Because of the thick fog, they couldn't get out of the primary manor, and the drone couldn't fly out. They didn't know who was attacking them outside and what they were using.

Xia Ji asked the system, and the system replied that this was an unlocked plot mission and no spoilers would be given for now.

What this means is that the attackers are still part of the plot of the manor game. Later, when the primary manor unlocks more areas, or when she is upgraded, she will have to confront these attackers head-on.

At this point, everyone came out of their relatively relaxed state. The original idea of ​​opening up 50 places for technical people to build the factory buildings was also overturned. In order to deal with enemies that might appear at any time, the team gave the remaining places to soldiers and weapons designers.

Before the summer festival is upgraded to level 5, the most important thing, besides growing crops, is to build up the armed forces of the manor.

The team speculated that Level 5 would be a watershed. By then, the thick fog lingering around the primary manor might dissipate, and they would be able to go out freely, and people or other animals outside could also come in. At this time, the entire game map would be truly open.

Alternatively, after level 5, the first wave of the Cross-Border Manor game is a team battle.

Although they knew that the manor was a game before, the environment of the primary manor made them think that this should be a purely casual farming game. As a result, this wave of attacks made them realize that manor games can also have combat plots, just like the games made by Shuilanxing before the end of the world, which wanted to capture both life-oriented players and hobby-stimulation players. Perhaps the reality-oriented game "Cross-border Manor" is the same.

The team wanted to curse, can't we just focus on making a casual game? Why do we have to get involved in those unnecessary factors?

It’s a pity that the game planner can’t hear their complaints. Changes cannot be made. They need this game, so they can only give up complaining and face the problem seriously and positively.

Among the one hundred new players, except for ten weapon experts, the rest are elite teams of troops that the Chinese Alliance can currently mobilize. Regardless of whether they are engaged in reconnaissance or tactics, the most basic quality they possess is that they are good at fighting. They are not the kind who are only good at information warfare, but are also good at bare-handed fighting or cold weapon combat.

There are male teams and female teams, and the team leaders are all all-round soldiers. After the incubator liberated the women's uterus, the male-to-female ratio of soldiers in the army was greatly reduced, and there are particularly outstanding female soldiers in each branch of the army.

When these players were told about "Cross-Border Manor", a real-life game set in another world, they were confused, just like the previous players. They felt that Minister Miao was joking, or that they were dreaming.

However, it is a soldier's duty to obey orders. After making sure that this was really arranged by their superiors, they still played the game with mixed feelings.

Then, I got excited.

"The sun! It's a real sun. It feels hot!"

When old players look at new players, they have the same mentality as veterans, and they can understand it very well. When they first came into the game, they were all so excited.

He stared at the sun, blinking his eyes in pain but refusing to look away.

Fortunately, although this is the real world, they are all logged in in spirit, so staring at the sun will not damage their real vision. It will just make them uncomfortable for a while in the manor.

This time, it is not Xia Ji who welcomes the new players, but the old players.

Except for the Pioneer Team, these players all regarded Xia Ji as a local of the manor. Although Xia Ji acted as a kind, humble and studious manor owner (the Pioneer Team would teach Aurora, so other players thought she loved to learn), the players got along well with Xia Ji, but they felt that it would be better to let the Hope Stars lead new players to understand the manor. After all, Xia Ji was the manor owner of Aurora, and was from a different world from them. No matter how much he taught, he could not really absorb and understand the civilization of the Huameng in a short period of time, right? It would be bad if the two sides had miscommunication.

This arrangement was actually instigated by the team, because they gave Xia Ji the character of a manor owner from an alternative world, who is too close to the players, especially these shrewd players, and they are afraid that he will be exposed somewhere, so Xia Ji usually hangs out with the vanguard team. The team explained to other players that they are the first batch of players and have already gained Xia Ji's recognition and favorability, so they are not afraid of being exposed easily.

At the same time, let other players see the Vanguard Team teaching Xia Ji, so that when Xia Ji needs to contact other players one day, if too many hope stars accidentally pop up, they can still make patches.

However, later on, when the players in front have completely formed the idea in their minds that Xia Ji is a manor owner from another world who has seriously studied the knowledge of the Huameng and is a friendly and kind person, slowly, Xia Ji may get closer to other players. Then, when Xia Ji becomes very "Huameng person", the players will feel that she has been subtly influenced by them.

In this way, there would be no need to worry that Aurora might be excluded or guarded against and unable to integrate into the group when more and more game places become available in the future.

The Huameng team cannot announce Xia Ji's identity for the time being due to various reasons, but they also don't want Xia Ji, who is selflessly serving the country, to be wary of her compatriots because of Aurora's identity. This would be a bit cruel to her.

Of course, that was just their guess, and it was something that might only happen in the future. Currently, the players and Aurora were getting along very well, and they were very grateful that Aurora could cooperate with the Huameng and help them transport the food back. They were still somewhat grateful to Aurora, and since Aurora looked young and had a good personality, she was a favorite among the players.

They thought that Aurora was so young and the castle was empty before they came, so the food might not be very fine. So the players with good cooking skills volunteered to be Aurora's chef, and they were determined to make delicious food for Aurora under limited conditions. They would also feed Aurora with any edible wild fruits they picked from the forest or the river.

This is all spontaneous behavior of the players. Although every player values ​​food very much after the end of the world, not to mention carrot leaves and corn leaves, players pick the wild grass and leaves in the woods very carefully and take them back to make nutrient solution. They know that this is a real game, and they understand that no matter how full they are after eating in the game, no matter how greedy they are, they will not secretly steal the food. At most, they will chew some tender grass juice to satisfy their cravings. But for Aurora, they are willing to spend money on it. Sometimes when they kill small wild animals in the woods, they are willing to cook them deliciously for her.

In addition to gratitude, there must really be an element of love involved to treat her like this.

**
Under the guidance of old players, new players who accepted that "Cross-border Manor" was a real-world game quickly became familiar with the manor territory. Their first task was to set up military defenses in the manor, organize the manor's armed forces, and use the small amount of weapons transported in from the planting space to set up where they should be set up. At the same time, they would train soldiers in the manor and get used to manor combat, so as to avoid being unable to exert their strength on Hope Star when a real war comes.

In addition, because all ordinary players can only be online for 2 hours each time (4 hours of game time), and the manor is short of staff, many raw materials have to be searched within the currently unlocked range and then collected and processed. In order to maximize the use of time, Huameng found a place on Hope Star to set up a primary manor simulation scene. Usually, players train here after logging off. Not only soldiers, but players of other professions also have to participate in this training.

In this way, if the battle plot is unlocked too quickly and they don't have enough manpower, these non-military players can also participate.

The alien manor is the hope for the survival of the Huameng. No matter what, it must not be destroyed or occupied by other creatures from the alien world.

They want to protect the manor in the alien world as they would protect their home.

No player has any objection to this.

During this tense preparation, the good news is that except for the last time, the manor has not been attacked again so far. Of course, it is possible that it has been attacked, but it was not as strong as the first time, which caused the system to involuntarily activate the emergency protection mechanism to resist it.

They cannot let their guard down and must remain vigilant.

At the same time, before the war plot begins, harvest the cabbages and wheat that have matured one after another.

The first thing to be harvested is cabbage. It is planted before the corn matures and it only takes half a month to mature. So even though it is planted later than wheat, it still matures earlier than wheat.

The cabbages were harvested using construction robots. The team slightly modified the instructions for the transport robots, allowing them to pull the cabbages out of the ground by the roots like moving stones, and then place them in designated places.

It only took one day to harvest ten acres of cabbage.

The yield of cabbage per acre is slightly higher than that of carrots, with 12000 kilograms per acre. It is the highest yielding crop among the four crops currently unlocked by the system.

However, like corn, no new seeds are unlocked after harvest.

The team speculates that an upgrade is needed to unlock new seeds.

After the harvest, they planted cabbages again.

It's not that the team doesn't want to plant the super seeds they brought. For example, after harvesting the corn, they wanted to plant high-yield sweet potato seeds in the empty fields. However, the system does not allow it. These 100 initial farmlands can only plant seeds produced by the system, which must either be unlocked for free or purchased in the mall.

There is no choice but to spend more money on it.

After harvesting the cabbages, it was finally the turn of the wheat that everyone had been looking forward to. It took Hope Star a month and a half, and the sixty acres of wheat fields that had been planted were finally ready to be harvested!
The wheat fields are all on the arable land on the left side of the castle. The systematically reclaimed farmland is neat and tidy. When the wheat grows, when the wind blows, it will be the rolling wheat waves that appear in the dreams of everyone on Hope Star.

During the Summer Festival, the game panel did not show that the wheat could be harvested, but it had already grown and formed into clusters of wheat ears. Everyone looked at the waves of wheat as if they were seeing their loved ones. When the day came for the actual harvest, they were even more excited.

Although they have had the experience of harvesting carrots and picking corn, how can it compare to the wheat that is their staple food?
He had to hold the sickle and cut dozens of wheat ears himself, enjoy the sweetness of cutting wheat, and touch the golden wheat ears with his own hands, before he was willing to let the wheat harvester modified from the carrot harvester go to the field and harvest the wheat with a "boom boom boom".

The modified wheat harvester needs a driver, and these players are competing for the job. They all want to sit in the high driver's seat and watch themselves harvest acres of wheat fields. That sense of satisfaction is more exciting than flying a spaceship!
And this scene of harvest was also recorded by the drone, which was a modified solar-powered drone. The materials were well selected and if used with care, it may be able to be recorded until the manor is fully modernized.

Because the game currently does not have a screen recording function, they record it themselves and then store it on the computer in the manor. When needed, they cut it into the storage device and Xia Ji brings it back to Star of Hope.

However, this storage device must be used sparingly, as very few were brought to the manor, and it is impossible for the manor to produce them so quickly in the short term. The less hope one brings back to Star Hope, the better.

The computer that Huameng brought up actually looked very similar to a mobile phone in Xia Ji's opinion. It had a virtual light screen and could support voice input, handwriting input, typing input, and scanning input, but its storage capacity was much larger than that of a mobile phone.

If the technology of spiritual body separation had not been broken through, perhaps this computer mobile phone could really be called the optical computer in science fiction novels.

Back to the topic, with the help of machines, wheat harvesting is still very fast and there is no need for manual threshing. The machine cuts the wheat at one end and spits out the threshed grains at the other end. At the same time, the straw will be chopped in the machine and come out from another opening.

As soon as the wheat grains came out, Xia Ji manually put them into the system warehouse.

The system warehouse was built on the day the manor was attacked. At that time, all the materials were collected, and gold coins and blue crystals were spent, and the system was automatically generated.

The generated warehouse looks quite similar to the temporary warehouse, with a conical roof and circular walls. The walls are red brick and the roof is wheat-colored. It looks very nice, so Xia Ji put it in the yard of the castle.

After it was built, Xia Ji discovered that this warehouse was just like the warehouses in other games she had played before. It was very tricky, with a very small initial configuration and needed to be constantly upgraded later.

The initial warehouse has only one grid, and one grid can hold one item. If she puts wheat in it, she cannot put milk in it at the same time.

Moreover, the quantity unit of each grid is 100, that is, one grid can hold the harvest of one hundred acres of wheat fields, or one hundred barrels of milk, and it cannot hold more than this amount.

In addition, only things produced by the system can be placed there. If they are not produced by the system, they cannot be placed there.

Fortunately, she was still thinking that the 10 blue crystals and 100 gold coins charged for building a warehouse were not expensive. After all, it took 30 blue crystals to upgrade a cattle farm once.

Who would have thought that there were tricks in the warehouse.

Before level 5, each warehouse upgrade requires 10 blue crystals and 100 gold coins. After level 5, the blue crystals and gold coins required for upgrading will double.

If you want to talk about cost-effectiveness, it is definitely more cost-effective to upgrade the warehouse now, but blue crystals are really hard to earn. Currently, the Summer Festival only has 5 blue crystals for building 5 new stone houses + 1 blue crystal for completing the task of building a warehouse, and 5 blue crystals that can be rewarded. Using the 100 gold coins rewarded by the task, you can only upgrade one grid first.

At present, it is actually enough, because the wheat or milk harvested during the summer festival is transported back to Hope Star on the same day and will not be kept in the warehouse all the time. After it is taken away, the grid will be empty. But in the later stage, if there are more crops and animal by-products, it will definitely not be enough, so they still have to earn blue crystals and gold coins before level 5.

Currently, the only way to earn blue crystals, apart from system task rewards, is to build buildings, and more importantly, functional buildings with clear purposes, such as houses (except thatched houses). For example, brick kilns they built themselves can earn varying amounts of blue crystals (the team speculates that blue crystals are related to the complexity or functionality of the building, and more data summary is needed for the details).

But unformed buildings cannot be considered buildings. For example, the temporary and crude open-air sand excavation site they built by the river cannot be rewarded. Moreover, there is a daily limit on the amount of sand that can be excavated. If you excavate too much, you will be kicked offline by the system. However, the sand by the river is like the water tank in the kitchen of the castle. It will automatically recover after it is used up. When you go online the next day, there will be the same amount of sand in the river as before.

This made the researchers very curious. What kind of technology was used to make this? Was it magic?

But isn’t the system a technological system?
Those with a wild imagination would guess that there might be some special technology placed in the water tank or by the river that is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be touched physically, which can automatically collect substances in the air to decompose and synthesize what is needed, such as water or sand. However, there will be a reading process, so you have to wait for a while before you can see it. At the same time, the original substance (water, sand) cannot be too little.

This guess sounds a little more scientific, but it is still beyond their reach at the moment. Perhaps it will take another century or even longer to figure it out.

The only way to earn gold coins, apart from system tasks, upgrade rewards, and population rewards, is to sell crops and food in the warehouse, that is, agricultural and sideline products such as wheat, corn, carrots, cabbage, and milk produced by the system.

Grain crops such as wheat and corn are sold according to the yield per acre. The harvest of one acre of wheat is sold for 2 gold coins, corn for 4 gold coins, and carrots and cabbage are both sold for 3 gold coins.

Milk is sold by the barrel. Each cow produces 5 kilograms of milk at a time, so a barrel contains 5 kilograms, but the selling price is only 1 gold coin.

However, compared to the grains and vegetables that take at least half a month to harvest, a bucket of milk that can be produced in 1 minutes is of course more valuable. Minus the cost of seeds, those grains and vegetables only earn gold coin per unit after half a month or a month of hard work.

Therefore, in order to accumulate gold coins in the early stage, they need to sell the milk, buy more cows, and then produce more milk, forming a virtuous circle of making money.

Ideally, a cow can produce milk 50 times a day, which is 50 gold coins. The first 5 cows you buy can produce 250 gold coins a day, which is enough to buy 5 more cows.

However, after using the gold coins from selling milk to buy another 7 cows during the summer festival, the cows in the mall turned gray and could not be purchased, and it was written that the population needed to reach 300 before they could be unlocked.

Then, the mall put cow feed on the shelves, 1 gold coin for 2 handfuls, one handful of feed is enough for the cow to eat a meal, after purchase, it can be stored in the warehouse, after the cow has finished producing milk, Xia Ji can continue to click to feed after collecting the milk bucket in the game panel, and feed the cow remotely, without having to log in to the secondary world to feed the cow. However, this way, they will earn less gold coins.

Currently, there is no pay-to-win system in the game store, and it seems that there will be no pay-to-win system for a long time. The only way they can earn gold coins is to complete tasks diligently. They are reluctant to spend an extra coin to buy feed, and would rather everyone work harder and take turns cutting grass to feed the cows.

Although it is possible to let the cows graze on their own, this will lead to a new problem. Once 30 minutes have passed since they were released, the cows need to produce milk, which they must either do manually or be led back to the farm. Otherwise, the cows will not continue to graze, wasting their milk-producing time.

Therefore, everyone still chooses to do the lawn mowing task. Although it is a bit tiring, it is more convenient than milking the cows by themselves.

However, they can only stay in the online main world for 2 hours each time they go online. After going offline, they have to wait for 12 hours before they can log in to the game again. That means they can only go online twice a day at most. In order to complete the task better, everyone works in two shifts and has set strict online and offline times to ensure sufficient mowing tasks and to leave time for Aurora to rest. After the automatic bucket of milk is taken, it must be moved aside first, otherwise the cow will not continue to eat grass.

As a result, containers become a necessity.

So the player team decided to burn glass themselves, make containers, take the milk bucket and pour the milk into their own containers, and then put the empty milk bucket back. The automated cattle farm upgraded by Blue Crystal will disinfect and clean itself, and then be reused, so there is no need to buy milk buckets produced by the system.

To be honest, if this were a real game, this type of player would definitely be criticized by the planners. They are too stingy and are reluctant to spend the gold coins they earn and have to rely on their hard work.

But there is no way, because this realistic game does not allow pay-to-win. In order to collect resources to feed the people, the country can only be stingy and use the gold coins wisely.

After harvesting the wheat, the second crop of carrots planted in the original corn field matured a few days later, and everyone harvested the carrots just like before.

From cabbage to wheat, and then to carrots, the successive bumper harvests made everyone in a good mood. If the manor had not been attacked, they would have been completely obsessed with farming.

After the harvest, it is better to plant the highest-yielding cabbages and carrots on the empty farmland to store some food for the Huameng. When food is less scarce, wheat, the staple food, can be planted.

I was so busy growing vegetables, cutting grass, raising cows, making bricks, tiles and glass, reclaiming wasteland to grow crops, conducting training exercises and military exercises. I was busy with 200 players and the summer festival, and I forgot about time. Before I knew it, it was time to distribute nutrient solution in the new month.

Hope Star China Alliance.

In the middle of the night, the entrance of the supply and marketing station was once again filled with people from the Huameng.

Every time the country puts nutrient solution on the shelves for supply, there will always be queues in front of the supply and marketing stations in major bases of the Huameng, with people queuing there with baskets, wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas, as if they are afraid that if they are late, they will not be able to buy the nutrient solution.

There is no way. Since the end of the world, everyone has been obsessed with and nervous about food, and is particularly afraid of not being able to buy food and going hungry.

Therefore, even though the country has repeatedly advocated not to queue up in the middle of the night, it has not been able to stop these citizens. It has to send security teams to patrol and guard to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to commit crimes.

This time, people lined up earlier.

Moreover, they all seemed more nervous than before. If you looked closely, you could see that their nervousness also contained a hint of fear and a hint of expectation.

Because they don’t know whether what they are waiting for is a sweet dream or a nightmare.

Last month, Huameng launched a carrot-flavored nutrient solution, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Although Huameng officials later denied the two most popular speculations, saying that it was neither a bottom-of-the-box food nor a breakthrough in planting technology, the official statement that it was a synthetic-flavored nutrient solution did not convince the people.

They thought that if it was synthesized by combining materials, it would be impossible for the first one to be carrot flavored, right? Wouldn't rice and flour flavor be okay? That was the staple food of the people of Huameng.

Of course, what is more important is that, given the current situation on Hope Star, the taste is not important enough to require special research and synthesis. The most important thing is to break through the planting technology. Otherwise, if they keep relying on going to Blue Water Star to fish and eat seaweed, and the spacecraft runs out of fuel one day, or all the creatures on Blue Water Star mutate to the point where they cannot be eaten by humans, wouldn’t they be really doomed?

However, not all citizens think so. Huameng has always been a country of gourmet food, and it was forced to produce such an unpalatable nutrient solution. But now it has been five years since Hope Star. Maybe they really can find some materials on Hope Star, or use seaweed and fish from Blue Water Star to adjust the ratio and synthesize a nutrient solution with the taste of terrestrial crops?

There is no need for the authorities to lie to them, right?
At the same time, there are still some citizens who insist on their previous speculation, believing that this is the last resort of food, and the country does not say anything because it is afraid of causing unrest.

Then, this batch of nutrient solution is very important.

In short, the citizens who lined up early cannot feel at ease until they buy the low-priced nutrient solution.

Some are worried that the supply will run out this month; some are looking forward to buying the carrot flavor again, and so on.

Then, at 6:30 in the morning, when military vehicles carrying wooden warehouses escorting nutrient solution arrived one after another, everyone became excited, and the law enforcement and security team immediately shouted with loudspeakers at them to line up, and not to cut in line or rush to grab in advance, otherwise they would be dealt with as violating the public security law.

It's been five years since Hope Star was founded, and we are finally familiar with the process. Although we are very excited, we can barely maintain order. We have a rough idea of ​​how many cars are needed to supply the nutrient solution. If there are fewer cars, it means the supply will be reduced this month. If there are more cars, the situation may be much better.

However, as the apocalypse progresses, the number of cars like this becomes less and less.

The people in the queue stared at the military cards, counted silently, and had an idea in their hearts that this month's supply, each person should have no less than 15 bottles.

I can finally put my mind at ease. No matter what, I can get through this month and I don't have to worry too much about any trouble caused by this purchase.

For example, there was one time when there were too few military cards, and the people at the back of the line suddenly broke down and went crazy when they saw them, causing chaos at the scene.

Boxes of nutrient solution were moved into the supply and marketing cooperative under the protection of soldiers. After the shelves in the main grain area of ​​the supply and marketing cooperative were filled, the supply window of the supply and marketing cooperative was opened.

Unlike usual days when one could go in and out of the supply and marketing cooperative at any time to make purchases, on the day of distributing grain, the doors of the supply and marketing cooperatives were tightly closed, leaving only three or five glass windows for the staff to sit there and do business.

The window is completely enclosed, and both parties have microphones. There is also a machine facing the customers. People in line open the household registration APP page on their mobile phones and scan it on the machine. The staff will then be able to see the other party's household registration, current points, and the type and number of tickets currently held on the screen, and then purchase them for him according to regulations.

"Tao Jiangcheng, your supply for this month is 17 bottles. How many bottles do you want to buy?"

"I'll buy them all. I'll buy them all." Upon hearing that there were 17 bottles, the middle-aged man in the queue showed joy on his face and quickly agreed.

The staff were not surprised. Unless someone was in financial difficulty and couldn't find anyone to borrow points from, most people would just buy as many shares of the low-priced nutrient solution as they could.

After deducting the man's corresponding tickets and points, the staff placed 17 bottles of nutrient solution on the small transfer port on the table and pressed the transfer button. The nutrient solution would then be transferred from one end to the other. It was a bit like the self-service vending machines in the past. The staff did not need to open the glass and hand it to the buyer, which ensured the safety of the staff to a certain extent.

As soon as the 17 bottles of nutrient solution arrived, Tao Jiangcheng quickly put them into the dark cloth bag he had brought with him, then left from one end and stood aside waiting for people.

The low-price food supply is binding on every citizen, unless they are truly disabled, elderly, or children under the age of fourteen who are unable to move. Only after community investigation can the guardian be allowed to buy food on their behalf.

Otherwise, you have to buy it yourself.

This is to maximize the safety of every citizen.

Tao Jiangcheng was the first in line, and behind him were his younger brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. They were a family, and in order to protect their own personal safety and nutrient solution, they always went out together to buy food supplies. This time they lined up early and were in the front, so they could get the food back earlier.

I have learned from experience that the later you buy low-priced grain, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.

However, there are 17 bottles this time, which is more than the supply last month. Unless someone in the crowd suddenly breaks out with rainy day syndrome, there will generally be no problem. Tao Jiangcheng is not that nervous. He is still thinking about whether the nutrient solution in the cloth bag has carrot flavor. He wonders what it tastes like to drink.

He didn’t buy the carrot flavored one last time. Netizens who bought it online said that the outer packaging is no different from the previous nutrient solution. Some have carrot flavor and some don’t, just like opening a blind box.

Tao Jiangcheng didn't know whether he would be lucky enough to open this blind box. He heard that the carrot flavored ones were better than the nutrient solutions currently available on the market. And because they looked so much like the carrots eaten before the end of the world, they made people feel happy for some reason.

Of course, for some people, eating it evokes memories of the good life before the end of the world, which makes them feel even more uncomfortable compared to the present.

Tao Jiangcheng didn't have any big ideas, he just wanted to try the carrots that tasted like before the apocalypse. After all, he had been eating nutrient solution made from various fish and seaweeds for so many years, and his mouth was full of the smell of the sea. When he recalled the past, he could hardly remember what natural terrestrial crops tasted like.

As for whether it is synthetic or not, as long as it tastes like that, Tao Jiangcheng will be satisfied.

Moreover, seeing that there is more nutrient solution than last month, we know that the netizens’ speculation about the bottom of the box grain is wrong. So, why should we be so demanding about whether the country has made breakthroughs in planting technology?

Tao Jiangcheng also hopes for a breakthrough, but why should he be too demanding of the country? The country has already cared a lot about ordinary people like them. If there is a real breakthrough in planting technology, why would they hide it?
Just as I was daydreaming about this, suddenly, the crowd in the queue became a little chaotic.

Tao Jiangcheng came back to his senses all of a sudden, clenched the cloth bag and tensed his body, while glancing at his relatives and the commotion, he became anxious and wanted to leave here immediately, fearing that something would go wrong in the next second.

The on-site law enforcement team reacted faster than him and immediately headed for the place where the riot occurred. The group of people also realized it and immediately raised their hands to show that they were unarmed. Then they lined up obediently and dared not gather together to chat.

The law enforcement team stood guard for a while, and after confirming that they were queuing seriously, they didn't say anything else, but they kept their eyes on the patrol frequently, and if there was any problem, they would arrest them immediately.

Seeing the people in line gradually calming down, Tao Jiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel curious at the same time. What on earth caused them to make such a commotion at this time? They seemed to be staring at the screens of their mobile phones just now.

However, no matter how curious Tao Jiangcheng was, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He waited for his brother, sister-in-law and nephew to buy the nutrient solution, and then the four of them hurried home.

Anyway, if there is any hot topic, there is still time to check the phone after I get home.

As soon as they got home, Tao Jiangcheng and his friends couldn't wait to take out all the nutrient solution.

Before the end of the world, the relationship between relatives was relatively weak, but after experiencing the end of the world, more people will cherish the people around them more. Tao Jiangcheng was not married and lived alone before the end of the world. After the end of the world, he lived with his younger brother's family. After experiencing many ups and downs, their feelings have become very deep and they trust each other very much. An action like this where everyone takes out the nutrient solution together can only happen if there is a very trusting relationship.

They carefully checked each bottle of nutrient solution, and found that they were the same as what was said on the Internet. The bottles all looked the same, bare, with only the name of the fish or seaweed nutrient solution engraved on the bottle body. On the bottom were anti-counterfeiting marks and production dates specially printed by the state. Unlike before the end of the world, each product had to state its ingredients, what was added, the manufacturer, the address, the production date, whether it had a national license, and other information, and the packaging appearance was decorated with paper or other materials.

After the end of the world, these are all dreams. Where will the paper come from? If they can get trees, they can make nutrient solution to eat!

As for the ingredients? Forget it. It would be a waste to carve these words on the bottle.

Moreover, there is no need to write the nutritional ingredients in too much detail, lest people feel sad after reading them. It is better to just let people know the name, that it is made by the state, and that it is used as life-saving food for them.

Tao Jiangcheng's family of four couldn't tell any difference in the bottle, and the color of the nutrient solution seemed to be the same as before, so they could only choose blindly and see if they had any luck.

Each person picked a bottle, unscrewed it, and sniffed it. He couldn't smell any difference, so he just drank it. After waiting in line for a whole night, everyone was hungry.

Then-

"It's carrot flavor!" The nephew was the first to speak, his tone full of surprise, "It's really carrot flavor, delicious!"

"No, this isn't carrot. It looks like corn. It tastes like corn!" my sister-in-law spoke up next.

"Why do I still drink the murrelet flavor, without corn or carrot... Wait, why is there a corn flavor too?"

The unlucky Tao Jiangcheng brothers only drank the blackfish flavor and could not taste any other flavor. They were tempted by the carrot flavor mentioned by their nephew, but were skeptical about the corn flavor mentioned by their sister-in-law.

"Didn't they say there was only carrot flavor? Why is there corn flavor? Did I taste the wrong flavor? Corn juice and carrot juice may be similar in color, but they taste very different."

"No, no, it's real corn flavor. If you don't believe me, try it."

Tao Jiangcheng was too embarrassed to try what his sister-in-law had drunk, so he looked at his brother. Then, his brother took a sip and hesitated. "It seems to taste like corn, but it doesn't seem to taste like corn. I can't really tell the difference, but it's definitely much better than my black fish."

Then the little nephew also tried it, and just like his father, he couldn’t taste anything. But after going online, everyone believed what the sister-in-law said.

Tao Jiangcheng finally understood why some people were looking at the screen and talking while waiting in line, which caused a small commotion, because the top ten hot searches on the webpage included not only carrot-flavored nutrient solution and corn-flavored nutrient solution, but also the most popular one - #baby milk powder#.
